On the recordNovember 9, 2017
Study after study has shown that illegal voting is extraordinarily rare and voter fraud is almost nonexistent. Instead of spending taxpayer money chasing after mythical claims of voter fraud, the Federal Government must address actual threats to our electoral system. It is imperative that the Federal Government protect the integrity of our elections, but the administration seems interested in only chasing voter fraud unicorns. The real threats to our democracy are voter suppression, cybersecurity, weaknesses, and foreign meddling. To protect the integrity of our elections, we must expand voting rights for all Americans, we must modernize our voting systems, and we must appoint an independent commission to investigate foreign meddling in the electoral system before the 2018 Federal election. ____________________
