Letter: No evidence of voter fraud, just fear

I see a letter writer is worried sick about voter fraud in our state even though he has no proof. I bet he thinks that George W. Bush being put into office by a Republican Supreme Court was fair and honest in spite of Al Gore winning the popular vote by a half million votes. Rossi v. Gregoire was fairly decided by a honest Republican judge from a Republican county.

I think that more people should vote, not less. We seldom see even 50 percent of voters voting in our state. I also see that most of the states that put in voter ID laws were found to be trying to take away rights from the poor and elderly. In most of those states their ID laws are in danger of being thrown out.
