“Vote fraud is insignificant.”\u00a0 We hear that all the time from certain circles.<\/p>\n
Well, Norm Coleman would be virtually certain to disagree – and if he’s willing to be honest, so would Al “Felon’s Choice” Franken.\u00a0 But I digress.\u00a0 (smile)<\/p>\n
Back on topic:\u00a0 I guess it’s at least theoretically<\/i> possible that vote fraud is indeed “insignificant” today.\u00a0 But IMO that also depends on what you consider “insignificant”.<\/p>\n
How about having 2.7+ million people being registered to vote in more than one state<\/span>? If that were the case, would you call that “insignificant”?<\/p>\n I certainly wouldn’t consider 2.7+ million potential multiple-voters to be an “insignificant” issue.\u00a0 But that – along with numerous other problems – is precisely what Pew Center found when they studied US voter registration back in 2012<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Pew Center found over 2.688 million US voters to be registered to vote in 2 different states.\u00a0 Over 68,700 were registered in 3 states<\/i>.\u00a0 And over 1,800 were registered in more than 3 states<\/u>.<\/p>\n Yeah, it’s unlikely that all of those folks voted in more than one state.\u00a0 Some of them were doubtless dual-registered due to the individuals concerned having moved in the year or two prior to the election and their former state not removing their name from the list of registered voters.<\/p>\n
