The Brennan Center argues in The Myth of Voter Fraud and 7 Facts about Voter Fraud and Myths being spread about them that individual voter fraud is insignificant and “Voter fraud is unacceptable, but we must find solutions that address actual problems instead of imposing policies that make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to participate in our democracy.”
The real threat to election integrity is election interference. Brennan cites:
Out-of-date voting equipment
- Not enough voting equipment at voting precincts
- Intimidation of election officials
- Interference by poll watchers at the precincts
- Failure to update voter databases accurately
- Voter purging by States
- Unjustified recounts and legal challenges to the vote results
- Social media lies that undermine voter confidence in election process
- Foreign interference
