Voter fraud and the threat to American democracy

Posted by Staff on October 20, 2008 |

The Heritage Foundation hosted John Fund, author of the new book “Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.” John Fund is a member of the Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board and discussed recent voter fraud and voter suppression allegations and their effect on the upcoming election.

Fund began the talk describing the hypothetical scenario of the election resulting in a tie which would take the decision away from the voters “and put it into the hands of courts.” Fund argued that this scenario undermines the legitimacy of the electoral system as well as of the new President. America “needs the next president to take office with full legitimacy.” The discussion highlighted the concept that if Americans are seeing voter fraud and suppression become more prevalent before the election, it may be a clue to the problems that will take place on November 4.
