Evidence of voter fraud is out there

I hear all kinds of things about voter fraud, some claiming it is real, others denying any such thing.

So how come I have read the following? Some of these items were about events a little late in the general election cycle. To wit: From U. S. News, April 18, Indiana purges 481,235 voters from registration. This was because people had failed to update records as required in 2014, 2015 or 2016.

From Washington Free Beacon, Aug. 8, six individuals have been charged in Boston Federal Court for buying and selling of false ID documents, subsequently used to allow for fraudulent voter registration.

National Review Aug. 11, the Election Integrity Project analyzed U. S. Census Bureau’s 2015 Community Survey and statistics from the Federal Election Assistance Commission. The latter covered 38 states. Eleven states did not deliver sufficient or questionable information, and Pennsylvania placed it just over the “over-registration ” threshold. The state-by-state results yielded 462 counties where the registration rate was over 100 percent of adult U. S. citizens in residence.

Lastly, Investor’s Business Daily, Aug. 16, American democracy has a problem, a voting problem. According to a study of U. S. census data, America has more registered voters than actual active live voters! It’s a troubling fact that puts our nation’s future in peril.

How can anyone really believe that voter ID is not important?
