Election fraud in the United States dates back to the late 19th century and most often it involves absentee ballots, said Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation and a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission.
Absentee ballots are the only kind of ballots that are voted outside the supervision of election officials and outside the observation of poll watchers, von Spakovsky told EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program in a May 20 interview.
