Is voter fraud a myth?
Voting processes have been questioned for generations, with fraud at the centre of many claims. This entry maps the debate over whether significant voter fraud is a myth, setting out the positions that it is, and that it is not.
Yes, voter fraud is a myth
This position holds that significant voter fraud is a myth. It argues that every credible study finds fraud vanishingly rare — a few cases per million ballots — that courts and audits confirmed the 2020 results, and that election systems are built to make large-scale cheating impractical.
No, voter fraud is not a myth
This position holds that voter fraud is not a myth. It argues that fraud is a documented crime with real convictions — double voting, ballots cast for the dead, absentee-ballot schemes — citing the overturned 2018 North Carolina congressional race as proof it genuinely occurs.
