The Myth of Voter Fraud

LORRAINE C. MINNITE
Minnite argues persuasively that instances of people fraudulently voting in the United States are rare. She makes a compelling case that the vast majority of non-legitimate registrations are innocent errors, that only a small number of individuals illegitimately registered actually cast ballots, and that only an even smaller number of these illegitimate ballots are counted. She writes engagingly and with a sense of humor. An important book. CHOICE
