Political Factoid
Types of Voter Fraud
- 1. IMPERSONATION FRAUD AT THE POLLS:
- Voting in the name of other legitimate voters and voters
who have died, moved away, or lost their right to vote
because they are felons, but remain registered.
- 2. FALSE REGISTRATIONS:
- Voting under fraudulent voter registrations that either use
a phony name and a real or fake address or claim
residence in a particular jurisdiction where the
registered voter does not actually live and is not
entitled to vote.
- 3. DUPLICATE VOTING:
- Registering in multiple locations and voting in the same
election in more than one jurisdiction or state.
- 4. FRAUDULENT USE OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS:
- Requesting absentee ballots and voting without the knowledge
of the actual voter; or obtaining the absentee ballot from a voter
and either filling it in directly and forging the voter's signature
or illegally telling the voter who to vote for.
- 5. BUYING VOTES:
- Paying voters to cast either an in-person or absentee ballot
for a particular candidate.
- 6. ILLEGAL “ASSISTANCE” AT THE POLLS:
- Forcing or
intimidating voters—particularly the elderly, disabled,
illiterate, and those for whom English is a second
language—to vote for particular candidates while
supposedly providing them with "assistance."
- 7. INELIGIBLE VOTING:
- Illegal registration and voting by individuals who are not
U.S. citizens, are convicted felons, or are otherwise not
eligible to vote.
- 8. ALTERING THE VOTE COUNT:
- Changing the actual vote count either in a precinct or
at the central location where votes are counted.
- 9. BALLOT PETITION FRAUD:
- Forging the signatures of registered voters on the ballot
petitions that must be filed with election officials in
some states for a candidate or issue to be listed on the
official ballot.

And this may not include various "election" frauds for which the
Republicans are the most experienced.
