Little evidence of polling place fraud


The U.S. Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) commissioned a report to find out about voter fraud. According to USA Today, the EAC’s report shows that there is no evidence that significant numbers of voters are lying about their identity at the polls, voting twice, or voting in the name of dead people.

Meanwhile, several states and the federal government are trying to impose onerous new requirements for voter registration and identification. Most fraud occurs in the absentee ballot process, through coercion or forgery, according to the report.
