Electronic Voter Registration

Carrie Said:

What organizations are good sources for statistics on voting fraud in America?

We Answered:

Bush's Justice Department made prosecution of voter fraud a priority. They spent a lot of resources trying to find it and what happened was that in the entire nation they came up with about 120 cases over a five year period and about 85 were convicted. This is out of MILLIONS of votes cast in the USA. Many of those were the inadvertent registration of some people that were not citizens when they got driver's licenses or happened in small towns where small town local politicos tried to bribe people to vote for them.

So, when the Justice Department cannot find cases of voter fraud to prosecute when going about looking for them it tells us what most people with any sense know to be the truth: hardly anyone engages in voter fraud because there just is not much gain in it for someone to be motivated to do it, especially in view of the severity of the penalties if caught.
