F6, [...] "GOP lawmakers point to voter fraud as the reason for these new laws, even though study after study, investigation after investigation, has found that voter fraud is a minuscule problem in American elections. A major probe by the Bush Justice Department between 2002 and 2007, for example, failed to prosecute a single person for going to the polls and impersonating an eligible voter. Of the 300 million votes cast in that period, federal prosecutors convicted only eighty-six people for voter fraud. A much-hyped investigation in Wisconsin, meanwhile, led to the prosecution of only .0007 percent of the local electorate for alleged voter fraud.

So essentially, based on a handful of suspicious incidents, 5 million eligible voters could be disenfranchised in 2012.

Sounds like changes made on false pretenses, and so kinda like GOP election fraud on a somewhat massive scale.
