Republican candidate Donald Trump is making accusations that the
election is “rigged” against him, even suggesting the possibility of
voter fraud.
Trump leveled this accusation in a tweet early
Monday morning that read, “Of course there is large scale voter fraud
happening on and before election day.
Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!”
Many others strongly push back against claims of voter fraud. The
Brennan Center for Justice says that voter fraud is “myth” and the
Washington Post maintains that voter fraud isn’t a problem. (RELATED:

As the debate rages, here are examples of voter fraud in 23 different states.
Of course there isn't voter fraud....who you gonna believe the media, or your "lying eyes"
The tally from across the nation....
Virginia: Just a few weeks ago, Harrisonburg, Va., claimed about 20 voter
applications were submitted for dead people. A voter registration group
called “HarrisonburgVOTES” is responsible for the applications, and the
group is reportedly headed by Joe Fitzgerald, chairman of the Democratic
Committee in
Harrisonburg: An investigation has been launched.
Colorado: An investigation in Colorado in September, 2016, revealed that dead
people were voting in multiple elections. “We do believe there were
several instances of potential vote fraud that occurred,” Colorado
Secretary of State Wayne Williams told local news station CBS4. An egregious example of illegal voter fraud in Colorado was that of Sara
Sosa, a woman who died in 2009, yet “voted” in 2010, 2011, 2012, and
2013.
Michigan: Two Democratic officials in Michigan, Jason
Bauer and Mike McGuinness, were convicted in 2012 for involvement in an
election fraud scheme. The two men attempted to put a fake “Tea Party”
candidate on the ballot to split the conservative vote.
California: In only three counties in California’s 2016 presidential primary, there
were reportedly 194 people who voted twice. Some voters were voting
once by mail, then going to polls and voting again, according to the
East Bay Times. It is possible that even more mail votes were submitted
fraudulently, but only 194 people actually voted in person after having a
mail ballot submitted for them, leading to them being caught.
Missouri: The initial results of a Democratic primary in St. Louis this year were
scrapped after absentee ballots were improperly recorded. The first
election, which had shown incumbent Penny Hubbard winning the race, was
re-done. In the special election that followed, Hubbard’s opponent,
Bruce Franks, Jr., decisively won.
Florida: Deisy Penton de
Cabrera was convicted in 2013 of possessing more than two ballots which
belong to other voters. Cabrera was found with 12 absentee ballots of
other people and was keeping a list of elderly Hispanic voters, many
whom were deaf, blind, or had Alzheimer’s.
Kentucky: In
Magoffin County, Ky., three people were convicted of felony voter fraud
in 2016. Magoffin County Magistrate Gary Risner, Deputy County Clerk
Larry Shepard, and Tami Jo Risner were discovered to buying votes. During the case, the court heard witnesses testify to being paid $50 to vote for a slate in 2014.
North Carolina: Pasco Parker, a Tennessee resident, pleaded guilty to felony voter
fraud in North Carolina in 2015 after he voted in person in Tennessee,
then sent in absentee ballots to Florida and North Carolina.
A North Carolina watchdog group called the “Voter Integrity Project” uncovered Parker’s fraud.
Arkansas: Democratic State Rep. Hudson Hallum, along with his father Ken Hallum
and two campaign workers, were caught bribing absentee voters and
tampering with ballots. They pleaded guilty and were sentenced in 2013.
Georgia: A Georgia man named Mohammad Shafiq fraudulently tampered with voter
registrations during a 2012 election. Shafiq was convicted and sentenced
in 2015.
Indiana: Former Indiana Secretary of State
Charlie White was convicted of felony charges in 2012 after lying about
his address to keep collecting a paycheck from the Fishers Town Council.
Pennsylvania: In early 2015, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele
announced, “there’s potential voter fraud in Pennsylvania,” going on to
say that around 731 people may have double voted in Pennsylvania.
Arizona: Arizona woman Carol Hannah voted in both Arizona and Colorado in 2010.
Hannah was convicted of voter fraud in Colorado and lost her right to
vote.
Iowa: An Iowa woman named Mayra Alejandra Lopez
Morales pled guilty and was convicted in a voter fraud case in 2014.
Morales, not a citizen of the United States, registered and voted in the
2012 election.
Connecticut: Former Connecticut State Rep.
Christina Ayala was convicted in 2015 for election law violations. Ayala
voted several times in districts where she did not live.
Kansas: Michael L. Hannum pled guilty and was convicted in Kansas for voting in both Nebraska and Kansas in 2012.
Louisiana: Louisiana man Stanley Leger pled guilty to buying votes in a mayoral
race. Leger reportedly paid mentally impaired people to vote for a
candidate he worked for.
Maryland: Wendy Rosen, a 2012
Democratic congressional candidate in Maryland, brought her campaign to
an end after revelations surfaced that she voted in 2006 and 2008 in
both Maryland and Florida. Rosen pleaded guilty to illegal voting in
2013.
Alaska: A Mexican man named Rogelio Mejorada-Lopez
was registered to vote in Alaska and voted in several elections. He was
caught and convicted in 2005.
Wisconsin: Robert Munroe, a
Wisconsin resident, was convicted in 2016 of voting several times in
elections throughout 2011 and 2012, and even voted twice, in two
different states in the presidential election of 2012.
Munroe
blamed the voting on being in a “fugue state,” though several emails and
texts shared in court show him encouraging friends and family to vote
and donate money to candidates.
Alabama: Three women in
Alabama were found guilty of various voter fraud charges in 2015 after
tampering with numerous absentee ballots in a City Commissioner race.
Massachusetts: Enrico Villamaino, a Republican candidate for state representative pled
guilty and was convicted in 2013 for various charges in voter fraud in
East Longmeadow, Mass.
Ohio: In Cincinnati, Ohio, a poll
worker named Melowese Richardson was convicted on four counts of illegal
voting in 2013. Richardson voted twice in the 2012 presidential
election, and voted three other times for her sister who is in a coma. During the trial, Richardson suggested her prosecution may be because she is black and supporting Obama.
