You constantly hear about voter fraud... but you don't see huge amounts of vote fraud out there.

People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we have not engaged in.
