So, what is the quota of Illegals to get on the voter rolls in MD? I am sure you are telling them that they do not have to show an ID but can go in and use another name, like of a dead person or someone who moved from MD, and vote for the dems. Just like this candidate did. She knew the rules but as a typical democrat she felt the rules did not apply to her. MD BOE need to be investigated but Gansler is part of the problem and will NOT allow it to happen. I say an ID is required... and enough of your little kid tactics of lies and deceit. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/maryland-politics/post/maryland-democrat-quits-congressional-race-amid-vote-fraud-allegations/2012/09/10/d0ff9b1e-fb73-11e1-b2af-1f7d12fe907a_blog.html
