Asserts the co-chair of Project 21, a black conservative organization: "The Brennan Center for Justice has been the go-to
resource for many opponents of commonsense anti-voter fraud efforts such
as voter ID.
The essence of the Brennan Center's argument
against voter ID is that that voter fraud isn't a real problem, as it
happens so infrequently that it isn't a serious matter. In its report,
The Truth About Voter Fraud, the Brannan Center explains, 'Allegations
of widespread voter fraud… often prove greatly exaggerated. It is easy
to grab headlines with a lurid claim (‘Tens of thousands may be voting
illegally!'); the follow-up — when any exists — is not usually deemed
newsworthy. Yet on closer examination, many of the claims of voter
fraud amount to a great deal of smoke without much fire. The
allegations simply do not pan out.'
Mr. Cooper continues his commentary about voter fraud: "The Brennan Center's claim is flatly untrue. In contrast to the repeated claims of the
Brennan Center, the Pew Center on the States released a study this year
on voter registration and found across the nation that 1.8 million dead
people are still on the voter rolls, 2.75 million people are registered
in more than one state, and 24 million registrations are inaccurate or
invalid. There is a voter fraud problem in the U.S.,
and it undermines voter confidence in election outcomes and threatens
the fundamental notion of self-government – the hallmark of American
democracy."
