Many of these voter-suppression measures have become law despite clear evidence that voter fraud is practically nonexistent. Recently, though, a fraud case did arise — though it wasn’t exactly the kind that Republicans have so loudly warned about. Over three years ago, when my home state, North Carolina, passed an expansive voter-suppression bill, we sued the governor to expose the myth of voter fraud. v. McCrory, that there was almost no evidence of voter fraud in modern United States elections (the arrests above demonstrate why election fraud is practically nonexistent in America). Unfortunately, early voting in North Carolina has already demonstrated the need for greater voter-protection efforts.
