The Reality of Voter Fraud
By John Fund, National Review Online
Houston — The 2012 elections will feature many close races, likely including the presidential contest. That makes concern about voter fraud and ballot integrity all the more meaningful, and a conference held here last weekend by the watchdog group True the Vote made clear just how high the stakes are.
“Unfortunately, the United States has a long history of voter fraud that has been documented by historians and journalists,” Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in 2008, upholding a strict Indiana voter-ID law designed to combat fraud. Justice Stevens, who personally encountered voter fraud while serving on various reform commissions in his native Chicago, spoke for a six-member majority. In a decision two years earlier clearing the way for an Arizona ID law, the Court had declared in a unanimous opinion that “confidence in the integrity of our electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy.

Tensions Flare as Committee Considers Voter ID Bill
By Justin Snow, Southern Maryland Online
Tensions were high once again this year as delegates on the House Ways and Means committee debated a bill that would require Maryland voters to present proof of identity at polling stations when voting. Sponsored by Del. Nic Kipke, R-Anne Arundel, a similar bill has been introduced every legislative session since 2005.
Kipke … provided new research conducted by Election Integrity Maryland, a nonpartisan organization that works to ensure free and fair elections. An analysis of 7,000 Montgomery County voter registrations found that 5,400 registrations contained irregularities. Although some problems may be simple clerical errors, Cathy Kelleher, president of the organization, argued that they could lead malicious activity.
“Allowing any irregularities is opening a door to potential fraud,” said Kelleher.
