The Truth About Voter Fraudby Justin Levitt of Loyola Law School. Levitt performed a wide-ranging analysis of alleged incidents of voter fraud across the U.S. "Usually, only a tiny portion of the claimed illegality is substantiated — and most of the remainder is either nothing more than speculation or has been conclusively debunked."
The Politics of Voter Fraud by Lorraine Minnite of Columbia University. Minnite concludes that voter fraud is exceedingly rare, and that the few allegations in the record usually turn out to be something other than voter fraud: "a review of news stories over a recent two year period found that reports of voter fraud were most often limited to local races and individual acts and fell into three categories: unsubstantiated or false claims by the loser of a close race, mischief and administrative or voter error."
Fraudulent Votes, Voter Identification, and the 2012 US General Electionby John Ahlquist and Kenneth R. Mayer of the University of Wisconsin, and Simon Jackman of Stanford. The authors conducted a survey experiment "to measure the prevalence of two speci?c types of voter fraud: repeat/fraudulent ballot casting and vote buying." Their conclusion: "The notion that voter impersonation is a widespread behavior is totally contradicted by these data."
Voter ID Lawsby Minnite again. "In 95 percent of so-called 'cemetery voting' alleged in the 2010 midterm election in South Carolina, human error accounts for nearly all of what the state's highest law enforcement official had informed the U.S. Department of Justice was fraud."
They just do not vote like they used to. By a UGA professor. by M.V. Hood III of the University of Georgia and William Gillespie of Kennesaw State University. "After examining approximately 2.1 million votes cast during the 2006 general election in Georgia, we find no evidence that election fraud was committed under the auspices of deceased registrants."
Side note: I've taken a class with Hood and he's a good ole Texan, we watched a cool movie about W. Bush's first campaign in his class. Not your typical left wing pols professor.
Government Investigations
2 Year Investigation by Iowa's Republican Secretary of State found evidence of 117 possible fraudulent votes and led to just six - six! - criminal convictions.
BadgerHerald.comIn 2011 a Wisconsin task force found sufficient evidence to charge 20 people with fraudulent voting in the 2008 elections. Most of these were felons who were ineligible to vote.
A lot of data Kansas' secretary of state examined 84 million votes cast in 22 states to look for duplicate registrants. In the end 14 cases were referred for prosecution, representing 0.00000017 percent of the votes cast.
A 10-year 'death audit' in North Carolina turned up a grand total of 50 instances in which a vote may have been attributed to a deceased person, most likely due to errors made by precinct workers.

Hood was one of the hardest classes I took. Maybe it was his style and dryness, Idk. I thought Bullock's class was much easier than Hood's.

These articles seem to be centering on substantiation by accounting for convictions and abstract cases of blatant fraud. It also doesn't actually contradict any of the instances of things that I posted about.
Our government is drowning in corruption in damn near everything that it touches, but for some reason folks like you seem to think the election process is near flawless and run by some incorruptible angelic process that remains untainted.
HBO creates a documentary showing video evidence of mass voter fraud, and you guys just stick your head in the sand and act like it doesn't exist.
A man shows video and document evidence of voting machine rigging and you toss out some articles from college academics doing some "studies", as if there's ZERO chance of any bias there. *eyes rolling big time*
A Congressional candidate shows us with indisputable video proof that machines in a certain district had been tampered with and were counting her opponent no matter what vote was placed, and you're like, "NUH UH, NOTHIN TO SEE HERE!"
The government is beyond corrupt in everything else, but the voting process is as pure as 72 Islamic virgins.
So naive it's just sad.
