Voter Fraud - Stealing Elections

Kerby Anderson, Point of View: If you think back to the 2000 Presidential election and Florida recount, all sorts of images come to mind. Butterfly ballots, absentee ballot scandals, felons voting, charges of voter suppression are just a few things that come to mind. These are not pleasant memories that any of us would want to repeat.

But there is a very real possibility that it could happen again. Recently I interviewed John Fund (columnist for the Wall Street Journal) about his newly revised book. Four years ago he wrote, Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy. This year he updated the information and added additional chapters. I asked John Fund how likely it was that we might have a repeat of the 2000 election. He believes that we have a one in three chance of our 2008 election going into overtime. All it would take is a close election in a key swing state. And we will be reliving the experience of the 2000 election.

His book also documents examples of voter fraud that have plagued our elections for years. He takes us on a guided tour of our error-prone election systems. . . . the perils of "provisional ballots" and the flaws of the "Motor Voter" law that has allowed people to get absentee ballots for phantom voters. He also talks about the vigorous opposition to photo ID requirements for voting. And . . . the registration drives of the radical group ACORN and Barack Obama’s involvement with ACORN. . . .
