On the other hand, both parties (although seemingly Republicans a bit more than Democrats) are actively trying to invalidate votes. I, for example, can expect to face people trying to challenge my right to vote because I'm a college student in Pennsylvania rather than the owner of a permanent residence. I can still legally vote, and I know that partisan poll watchers have no right to stop me. However, not all voters are as well-informed as I am.
Then you've got the names of felons being expunged from voter rolls...except some of them are most certainly not felons. I don't know that very many names are being expunged from the rolls, but at a time when 500 votes in Florida could determine the next president, it might be enough.
