Tracking down provisional voters and ask them how they voted, while not necessarily fraudulent, does indeed sound ... wrong ... to me.

It's kind of like rounding up homeless or people from impoverished neighboorhoods in Minneapolis and Milwaukee and busing them down to vote on election day. Some people may think it's unorthodox, but it's not illegal and I totally support it.
That's certainly not unorthodox...that practice is as old as the general franchise.
Obviously, it only works if they are registered to vote, but they definitely deserve a vote as much as the next guy, and are usually badly informed but again no less than the next guy.

Jacob Riis noted that, among the NY poor ca.1900, Blacks were the only one with any political convictions - the price for a vote back then was two dollars. Blacks took only half that amount from Republicans.
