Yes, voter fraud is real, and courts are cracking down on it

A big voter fraud arrest and a separate voter fraud conviction in the past eight days again show that illicit voting is real and not terribly rare. The good news is that those on the side of ensuring voter integrity keep winning in the courts.

In 2020, I explained that New York’s absentee voting “portal” was so slipshod as to be an open invitation to fraud. “Someone could easily go to the portal using someone else’s name and date of birth and registered address within the district,” I wrote, “then ask for an absentee ballot to be sent somewhere else, and then fill in the ballot and mail it in.”
