Once again, let’s be clear on this:
voter fraud doesn’t exist in the United States.
Here are the numbers:
About one billion—that’s 1,000,000,000--votes
were cast in elections all over the country during 2000-2014, a 15-year sample.
There were 31 reports of possible voter
impersonation fraud.
That’s 31 out of 1,000,000,000.
Here’s another way to understand that:
Say there are 500 people voting in your
election precinct. The teeny number of possible fraud cases suggests that in
your precinct, once every 32,000 years or so, someone might try to impersonate
another voter.
We don’t need any restrictive voting
laws to fight “voter fraud.”
