John
Fund has been a rather vocal Never Trumper. But he is also, at the very least, one of the foremost
investigative journalists on the subject of election fraud. His books Stealing Elections and Who’s
Counting (co-authored by Hans Von Spakovsky) grace my library.
So
it is notable that he along with Von Spakovsky has written that Trump’s call
for a probe of election fraud is right, nay, overdue.
True,
Trump’s claim that fraud accounts for all of Hillary’s popular vote margin may
be just slightly off, but…
The real problem in our election system is that we don’t really know to what extent President Trump’s claim is true because we have an election system that is based on the honor system.
What we do know, despite
assertions to the contrary, is that voter fraud is a problem, and both sides of
the political aisle should welcome a real investigation into it -- especially
since the Obama administration tried so hard for eight years to obfuscate the
issue and prevent a real assessment.
Former Justice Department
attorney Christian Adams testified under oath that he attended a November 2009
meeting at which then-deputy assistant attorney general Julie Fernandes told DOJ
prosecutors that the administration would not be enforcing the federal law that
requires local officials to purge illegitimate names from their voter rolls.
And
there’s more, much more, particularly in Fund’s books (and on this blog on
occasion as well). Anyone who says
election fraud is not a serious problem in this country is ignorant,
delusional, or a Democrat. The
Democrat Party benefits from election fraud and has willfully enabled it, when
not directly engaging in it. It’s
not for nothing that DemocRATS like Obama and Gov. Dayton of Minnesota have
opposed and obstructed Voter ID, cleaning up registration rolls, and other
measures to prevent fraud.
So
bring on the investigation! And if
it results in perps in prison, so much the better!
