Could be. Couple this with a political machine verifying ballots and it at least appears ripe for fraud. Not that I'd expect much else after seeing the city's government in the wake of Katrina.
Anything that would positively establish identity is OPTIONAL INFORMATION. Yep, that's right, optional. I could easily fill out this form, get my ballot, send it in; and I haven't lived in New Orleans in over a decade. Furthermore, I can make as many copies of this form as I'd like:

Of course it's a fraud; look at the city, look at their government, look at the people and look at whom they elected and will elect. Nagin, Landreu...makes no difference...they are promoting building under sea level and under the bed of the Mississippi River...that is 10s of feet higher than where it naturally flows. Read the Control of Nature by McPhee if you want to know what this is about: Atchafalaya River or read the Wikipedia about the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchafalaya
((((Degradation of the buffer marshes...The control of the river's floods, along with those of the Mississippi, has become a controversial issue in recent decades. It is now widely suspected that the channeling of the river and subsequent lowering of siltation rates has resulted in severe degradation of the surrounding saltmarsh wetlands as well as widespread submerging of populated and agricultural lands of the bayou country. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reports that over 29 square miles (75 square kilometers) of land is lost to the sea each year[1]. The coastal salt marshes form a buffer zone protecting the entire coast of Louisiana from the effects of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and dissipating their accompanying storm surges. The marshes depend on replenishment from deposited silt, which is now being deposited over the edge of the continental shelf, due to the artificially canalized flow of the Mississippi. From the 1950s through 1970s, the oil industry dredged deep channels into the marsh so that they could move barges in as work platforms. The edges continued to degrade, until wide shallow channels in the saltmarsh have resulted.
The disappearance of the delta country is considered by many environmentalists, as well as by the State of Louisiana, to be one of the most significant ecological threats in the United States. The loss of the delta lands was discussed by author Mike Tidwell in his 2003 book Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast.))))

Nagin is a RACIST! If he wants New Orleans to be a CHOCOLATE city, don't ask whites for their money to rebuild it. What a PIG. No more help from me if he wins.
