Voter Fraud Not an Issue
 

Too many people have been led to believe that voter fraud is rampant, and that the proposed changes will only make it worse. They say, "all of my friends voted the same way I did. If the other side won, it must be because of voter fraud!" Whenever we make a study of actual voter fraud, it is found to be nearly non-existent, and never affecting the outcome of an election. But too many entrenched interests like having fewer people vote. They are the ones drumming up claims of "voter fraud!" 

Every effort should be made to make voting by citizens, including citizens who were felons but have served their time, easier.
