IPC Statement on Heritage Foundation Voter Fraud Report

Read the press release in pdf.

Election experts tend to agree that modern-day voter fraud is a largely rare and irrational occurance in the United States. But lack of evidence is not an obstacle for the Heritage Foundation, which on July 10 issued a rambling memorandum claiming that an unknowable yet large number of non-citizens are voting illegally and subverting the electoral process. Rigorous research has shown that voter fraud in the U.S. is almost non-existent and that most allegations of voter fraud by non-citizens stem from faulty records, partisan politics, and common-place error.
