ans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation and former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, has revealed in a new column at The Daily Signalthat his organization now has documented 1,412 proven instances of election fraud.
“Our legal center is monitoring many other ongoing prosecutions,” he added.
He cited the database which includes election fraud cases as demonstrating the vulnerability of America’s electoral process and the need for reforms.
“The database doesn’t list potential fraud discovered by election officials and others that is never investigated or prosecuted, and it obviously cannot list fraud that goes undetected when states with poor security don’t have the tools in place to even realize such fraud is occurring,” he explained. “But states—especially now that many state legislative sessions are now beginning—should make stopping fraud and ensuring the integrity of their elections a top priority.”
