Want to intimidate or discredit someone you disagree with? If you’re a member of the mainstream media, just describe them as a “denier” or preface their concerns as “unproven allegations” or “discredited claims.”

NPR states… “Trump has endorsed 159 candidates who are election deniers [italics mine] for state and federal offices this year…” They continue… “From the standpoint of a fact-checker, there is no evidence of fraud sufficient to support that claim. After nearly two years of recounts, ballot reviews, expert examinations and court cases, that remains the bottom line. The 2020 election has been scrubbed and studied as none other in U.S. history, and the consensus conclusion remains that it was run more smoothly and counted more reliably than ever.”

The progressive Brennan Center calls voter fraud a myth. “Politicians at all levels of government have repeatedly, and falsely, claimed the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections were marred by large numbers of people voting illegally. However, extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is virtually nonexistent, and many instances of alleged fraud are, in fact, mistakes by voters or administrators. The same is true for mail ballots, which are secure and essential to holding a safe election amid the coronavirus pandemic.”

If you’re one of those crazy “election deniers,” you’re not alone — the RNC website recently listed over 150 examples of Democrats claiming fraudulent election results, but only in elections they lost. A YouTube video shows similar whiny complaints from Hilary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and scores more.

Ask yourself, if there is no election fraud, then everything is fine, but what if it’s true that elections can be rigged to favor one side or the other? What would the consequences be if Americans no longer had the ability to choose their elected officials? Why wouldn’t you support anything that would secure accurate voting results in every local, state, and national election?

The Heritage Foundation has embarked on an extensive investigation of voter fraud — from both parties, at all levels of government, and in primaries as well as general elections. Katie Samalis-Aldrich and Hans von Spakovsky report “Voter Fraud Cases Continue to Occur, Putting Fair and Free Elections in Jeopardy.“ 

“We recently added nine new cases to the Heritage Election Fraud Database, bringing the total number of entries of proven instances of voter fraud in the database to 1,374. The mounting collection of cases continue to disprove the narrative that voter fraud is not real and that further election integrity measures are not needed.”

These are not “unproven allegations,” but documented court cases where judges and juries have convicted both Democrats and Republicans for not just minor infractions, but significant fraud that has impacted election results. Defendants have pled guilty, paid fines, and spent time in prison.

They explain… “The database does not purport to be comprehensive. Rather, it contains a sampling from across the country of proven cases, each one demonstrating how election fraud occurs. It shows the vulnerabilities within our current electoral system and provides measures state legislators can take to ensure integrity in every vote cast. “
