Bill Graham says he supports a voter ID law in North Carolina.
A spokesman for the Republican gubernatorial candidate said that the state could easily add a photo to the voter registration card that citizens already must get.
Aaron Lay told Dome that the so-called "motor voter" law—which allows people to register to vote when they get a driver's license—and the recent shortening of the registration period could make it possible for people to vote fraudulently.
He cited a recent report from the state auditor's office which found 20,000 people registered for driver's licenses with invalid Social Security numbers. The state Division of Motor Vehicles later said it only had questions about 3,500 drivers.
"Is there fraud in the system? I don't know," Lay said. "Is there a potential for it? Absolutely."

This kind of hypocrisy has been spewing from the Graham camp since day 1.

January 14, 2008 - 12:37pm — awbealAaron Lay should know there is "fraud in the system." He was once indicted for voter fraud (http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/05/11/primarysource/entry2793560.shtml).
Oh, the irony!
