Contrary to the claims of many liberals, the problem of voter fraud is as old as the country itself. As the U.S. Supreme Court noted when it upheld Indiana’s voter identification law, “flagrant examples” of voter fraud “have been documented throughout this Nation’s history by respected historians and journalists.”
Election integrity is essential and the security of the ballot box cannot be left to a simple honor system.. It is incumbent upon state governments to safeguard the electoral process, and ensure that every voter’s right to cast a ballot is protected and not diluted by a fraudulent vote.
One of the big issues now, Fred, is how much the federal government can require of the states in terms of voter integrity. For instance, we can argue that fraudulent votes in California dilute the votes in North Carolina. I wonder how much Trump will attempt in this direction, and how successful he will be.
