In an era rife with misinformation, “Election Fraud Myths” addresses the crucial need to distinguish between fact and fiction concerning election integrity. This book explores claims of election fraud, voter suppression, and voting system security in the United States, emphasizing that confidence in democratic processes is essential for a stable society. While isolated voting irregularities do occur, the book argues that systemic, widespread fraud capable of altering election outcomes is exceedingly rare. Furthermore, many policies framed as fraud safeguards often disproportionately impact marginalized communities, suppressing legitimate votes. The book examines the history of voting rights, defines key terms, and analyzes data from academic studies, government reports, and election auditing organizations. It debunks common myths surrounding voter fraud, delving into the realities of voter suppression tactics and assessing the security of voting technologies. The book progresses by outlining various types of election fraud, then dedicating chapters to debunking common myths, examining voter suppression, and assessing voting technology security. It culminates with concrete, bipartisan recommendations for improving election security and access, such as modernizing voting equipment and expanding early voting options.
