Your "voter fraud" charge was discounted by an audit just last week of the caucus participants.

The Iowa caucuses were not invaded by large numbers of ineligible voters eager to risk fraud charges to support their presidential candidate, a Des Moines Register review of registration voter data shows. The findings may mute one criticism of Iowa's presidential nominating process as state leaders again face the task of defending the caucuses' first-in-the-nation status.

However, the lack of significant participation by unverified new voters can be used to counter the oft-stated criticism that the caucuses are ripe for infiltration by non-Iowans, including suspicion voiced by Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign in the weeks leading up to the caucuses that Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois lined up participants from out of state.
