Voter Fraud is a Myth

To hear leading Republicans like Chris Kobach, voter fraud is a big problem nationwide. President Trump even tried to float the idea that if illegal immigrants weren’t voting, he would have won the popular vote. This is simply not true. There are less than 20 voter fraud cases in the last 10 elections and only a handful lead to a prosecution. In a country our size with as many elections, as we have, this is impressive. Kobach created new rules and a new database to help “cleanse” the voting roles and has been disenfranchising real voters in the name of non-existent voter fraud. These claims of voter fraud are far more fraudulent than any actual voter fraud.
