As linked in the OP this is how the Washington Post concludes the article:
House Minority Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) said the case was not proof of voter fraud because no one had actually managed to cast a vote in the names of the dead.
“First of all, there was no voter fraud — they caught him,” Toscano said. “Nobody cast a vote. . . . There’s still no evidence of that going on in the state. But there is evidence every time you turn around that the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult for citizens to vote in elections.”
Finding it strange that no mention of a political party was involved I had feeling there was a suppression of some facts on part of the Post's article. This is what I turned up with Google search, a similar story which through the main point was word-for-word what the Post contained. However, it concluded with:
Andrew Spieles, a James Madison University student working for HarrisonburgVotes, admitted to submitting applications containing the names of the deceased, according to the local
Daily News-Record.
HarrisonburgVotes, according to the
Free Beacon, is run by Joe Fitzgerald, a prominent Democrat in the area. He’s the chairman of his congressional district’s Democratic Committee.
