	John Fund on Voter Fraud on National Review Online
		Election fraud, whether it's phony voter registrations, illegal absentee ballots, shady recounts or old-fashioned ballot-box stuffing, can be found in every part of the United States, although it is probably spreading because of the ever-so-tight red state/blue state divisions that have polarized the country and created so many close elections lately.
		Investigations of voter fraud are inherently political; and because they often involve race, they are often not zealously pursued or prosecuted.
		But when voters are disfranchised by the counting of improperly cast ballots or outright fraud, their civil rights are violated just as surely as if they were prevented from voting.

	The New American - Invitation to Voter Fraud - March 22, 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Moves to enhance voter registration are predicated on the completely undocumented assumption that the higher the voter turnout on election day, the better the quality of the results.
		But the chances of electing big-spending, promise-'em-everything liberal politicians is enhanced by the participation of such voters, which undoubtedly explains the zeal with which the Clinton Administration and congressional leftists are working to curse the electoral process with the motor-voter monstrosity.
		If voters are not well-informed, their decisions amount to mere coin-flips or, even worse, tend to favor politicians who promise the most, receive the most favorable media publicity, have the most "charisma," or are most accomplished at speaking with forked tongues.
