The war on election integrity

Shirley Anne Conners, aka Faragalli, was arrested last week. A Canadian citizen living in this country illegally, she had voted in more than 20 elections — including the April presidential primary in New York.

She could not have done that if New York had in place common sense election integrity measures such as requiring photo ID for in-person and absentee voting and citizenship verification for those registering to vote. Absent such protections, your vote can be easily voided — and elections stolen — by illegal votes.

It’s not just New York. Indiana state police are investigating possible voter registration fraud in 57 counties after fraudulent names and addresses were found on registration forms submitted by a group called Patriot Majority USA.

A similar investigation is ongoing in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where another group, HarrisonburgVOTES, turned in 20 registration forms for dead people. Also this year, dead people have been discovered voting repeatedly in Colorado and California.
