Commentary

Watching the news, you’d be led to believe that vote fraud doesn’t exist in the United States. Since the election on Nov. 8, news article after news article has simply dismissed any claims of vote fraud as “baseless” (The New York Times and CNN) and “without evidence” (NPR, NY Times, and The Washington Post). Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is lambasted for “stoking fears on mail-in ballots.” And the news coverage was no different after the 2020 election.
