The “myth” of voter fraud
Voter fraud is a myth, designed to disenfranchise the poor. Right Dahlia? Right Matt? Right Nico?
The secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after noticing that names did not match addresses and that most members of the Dallas Cowboys appeared to be registering in Nevada to vote in November’s general election.
