VOTER FRAUD! Smart Cards Stolen in Memphis!

Election officials in Shelby County, Tennessee, home of the Memphis-based campaign of Harold Ford, Jr. who is running for the U.S. Senate, confirm allegations made by the county GOP that smart cards which are used for early voting in this coming Tuesday's mid-term elections are missing. Up to a dozen of the computer-programmed cards have been stolen, according to the officials.

When it was first learned that the cards were missing, election officials replaced the cards, a few of which were stolen a second time.

Although election officials insist that the cards are useless because they have been de-programmed, computer experts say that it is quite easy to re-program the cards and use them again, allowing thieves to vote multiple times. Election officials dispute that claim, however, stating that the cards can only be re-programmed by the county elections office that issued them.

Computer experts, however, point to the ease with which a thief could steal a card and then re-program it using resources that can be found at any retail computer store.

Could this be the first example of an attempt by Democrats to steal an election?
