A common talking point of the mainstream media and Democrats is that voter fraud is not a problem in the U.S. But, the Heritage Foundation has offered proof that should satisfy any honest fact checker.
Hans A. von Spakovsky, Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow and Kaitlynn Samalis-Aldrich Administrative and Research Assistant, Meese Center writes:
Although talk of voter fraud may be increasing because of the stakes in the 2020 election, The Heritage Foundation’s election fraud database has been around for four years. With the addition of our latest batch of cases, we are up to 1,285 proven instances of voter fraud.
Examples of voter fraud in the Heritage database include: vote buying, duplicate voting, fraudulent absentee ballots, ineligible voting, such as by aliens, altering of vote counts, false voter registrations, illegal assistance and intimidation of voters, and ballot petition fraud.
The database contains numerous instances of the kind of fraud Democrats say does not exist.
One such case involves John and Grace Fleming. The couple was found guilty of duplicate voting, once in person in Massachusetts and once by absentee ballot in New Hampshire.
In another case Reginald Holman, a city council member in Ashtabula, Ohio was forced from office when he illegally registered at his parents’ address in Ashtabula rather than his actual residence in Plymouth, Ohio.
