I've posted this at least 2 or 3 times on here in the last few years.
Heritage Foundation created a searchable database of voter fraud convictions. It's at 1,300 and change. These are actual convictions. And it's not an exhaustive list.
https://www.heritage.org/voterfraudMany Voter Fraud Deniers will point to all of these cases as "lone wolf" cases or cases where the outcomes of the elections were not impacted.
Let's set aside the fact that prosecuted crimes in virtually any non-violent crime category are typically only a small fraction of those crimes.
But it's an odd notion that thousands of instances of crimes wouldn't create a knowledge of vulnerabilities. We are asked to suspend everything we know about other criminal networks and act as if voter fraud is not only different, but even when faced with a database of voter fraud convictions, there are still people that say, voter fraud doesn't happen.
And then there is the case of ACORN. The progressive activist community organizing group that operated from 1970-2010 and at its peak had a $25 million budget and alumni workers like Barak Obama. This group had dozens of workers across multiple states convicted for a massive voter registrations scam. Some estimates putting the number of fraudulent registration as high as 600,000. The defenders of this say, well they weren't votes cast. It was people just making money for themselves because they were getting paid for each registration.
Although ACORN dissolved, it didn't go away. At least 30 state chapters launched themselves as separate organizations allowed to exist even after they were part of a parent organization that allowed the largest known voter registration fraud to happen inside the organization.
Testing vulnerabilities from every angle of the election process, but we should not see any of this as organized or relevant.
These are not conspiracy theories. Convictions happened in the Acorn Case. There is a database of convictions with nearly 1,400 convictions. The newest one in the Heritage database from Texas is a case of ballot harvesting and absentee fraud. A hundred mail in ballots fraudulently obtained in a race with only a few thousand voters.
Real extraordinary what we are asked to ignore. Oh and Perkins Coie handled at least some of the cases brought against ACORN state chapters for the fraud. A coincidence I'm sure.
People with heads in the sand on this stuff truly amaze me. The entire Mark Zuckerberg vote project was a high tech version of the ACORN projects. Except instead of a bunch of old school poor community nonprofit workers running the operation it was tech workers with advanced degrees in data analytics. But yeah, no big deal. Not the same. ACORN is gone, move along, don't ask questions.
