I thought Republicans never cheated!
Oh, and once an investigation is completed, they are likely to find that it's a poll worker mix-up (similar sounding names or matching names). Something like this happened in Indiana when I lived there and everyone freaked out. They investigated and nearly every single one of them was a legal voter and the poll worker messed up due to either the exact same name or a similar sounding name.
That's the problem. Everyone freaks out and jumps to conclusions and pretends that everything is going to collapse because of "dead voters".
They haven't investigated anything yet. So, as such, what is the Attorney General's agenda in making this public before the investigation?
And how much do you want to bet when the investigation is complete and no criminal intent to commit fraud is found (as I said, it's very likely simple error) that the AG will say absolutely nothing?
Why? Because this story will linger and Republicans can use it to say "Voter fraud DOES exist".
This happens every election cycle. Put out a story about suspicion and ignore the story when all the facts prove nothing.
Of course, I'll use it to say, Republicans obviously are the cheaters, so maybe ID laws are to prevent Republican cheating.
After all, the first person arrested under Indiana's new voter fraud laws? The Republican Secretary of State who is supposed to oversee elections and verify that they are legitimate.

(It's just for fun, honestly - Republicans don't really cheat necessarily any more than Democrats do - they just do their damnedest to keep people from voting freely).
