Electioneering Fraud? Prove it!

An important government report that is being kept from the public reportedly finds zero evidence that significant numbers of voters are lying about their identity at the polls, voting twice, or voting in the name of dead people. Yet across the country, voter identification laws that disenfranchise eligible voters are being pushed and passed to combat this imaginary epidemic.

People for the American Way:

You’ve heard the expression, “the cure is worse than the disease?” Well that’s especially true when you don’t even have the disease in question!

The US Congress and state legislatures have been pushing (and in some cases passing) onerous laws that erect barriers to the ballot box in the interest of stopping rampant voter fraud. But according to USA Today, research commissioned by the US Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) reveals that there is no evidence of significant numbers of voters lying about their identity at the polls, voting twice, or voting in the name of dead people. NO EVIDENCE!

This is big news – that is, it would be if the EAC wasn’t sitting on the four-month-old research.
