Alleging Fraud is Easier Than Proving Fraud

In George Will’s column that I linked to earlier today, George Will refers to John Fund’s book on voter fraud, which has serious allegations that need scholarly investigation. One incident mentioned came out of Kenosha Wisconsin. A blog reader writes me to tell me that as far as that incident goes, Fund mentions only the initial charges, but not that a special prosecutor later found the charges were completely without merit. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article on the investigation is here and confirms the reader’s account. It is very hard to prove election fraud, and even harder in most cases to prove that enough fraud exists to change the outcome of federal elections.
