Voter fraud is bad, mmmkay?

Seeing as she's unopposed, Republican secretary of state nominee Beth Chapman won't have many last-minute campaign obligations on June 6. That'll free her to make a symbolic statement against voter fraud by serving as a poll watcher in Hale County, a heavily Democratic county where absentee ballots often flow like wine. For the record, Chapman says she hates voter fraud in heavily Republican places just as much.

In a much less symbolic move, Chapman is putting her money where her mouth is, offering $10,000 from her own pocket to anyone who proves voter fraud during next month's primaries.
