The numbers in Robert Post’s Sept. 11 voter fraud editorial don’t add up. First is the claim that there were only 13 cases of voter fraud from 2000–2010. That the figure comes from a college professor alone raises suspicions. Counting only the 2008 election, ACORN was found guilty of mass voter fraud in 14 states—more than the states’ 13 cases! Also remember, Congressman Sanchez registered illegal aliens to vote for her in 2000, and Al Franken received more votes in some districts than there were residents!
The editorial’s main statistic’s source is Mother Jones, an extremist publication that serious people dismiss because their information is routinely not sourced or untrustworthy under research. It claims that 47,000 UFO sightings in a year exceeds the fraudulent vote count in 2012. They cite this as 1 percent of 100 million votes. For those who attended public school, that’s 50,000. Even if this is accurate, 50,000 is greater that 47,000, except under Common Core math.
I’m not saying President Obama stole the election, as those who couldn’t accept Al Gore’s 2000 defeat convince themselves about Bush. Obama is a master at mobilizing what Time Magazine coined, “low-information voters.” But these faulty numbers downplay a serious problem affecting a sacred responsibility. If it wasn’t serious, states wouldn’t be enacting voter-identification laws, and the administration wouldn’t be exhausting its resources waging legal battles against such states. If voter fraud’s not a big deal, why go to such lengths fighting attempts to curtail it?
