Voter fraud is someone who shouldn't be voting but votes. It's basically nonexistent. This is election fraud--people who are allowed to vote being blocked in some fashion. It's definitely up there in the Republican playbook.

Note that the Republican obsession with voter fraud is actually an attempt to justify election fraud.




Popular quote by Jim Acosta (CNN):

CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted “voter fraud in this country is actually very rare.”

Considered to be a justification for to continue voter fraud (because getting ineligible people to vote (and multiple times) ) -- is likely helping democrats).

You folks think that Russians interfered with our election results, I would think you would thusly support securing our elections...


What the Republicans are trying to do does absolutely nothing about what Russia appears to have done.

"Securing" our elections is about suppressing the vote of the poor, not about stopping fraudulent voting.
