POLL: Americans Worried About Voter Fraud

An interesting new Monmouth University Poll suggests a strong majority of Americans consider voter fraud to be a problem.

The catch? They’re oblivious to it in their own backyards:

Just over a third (36%) of registered voters feel that voter fraud is a major problem in the United States and 33% say it is a minor problem, while 20% report it is not a problem. Another 12% have no opinion on this issue. This level of concern drops when voters are asked about fraudulent voting in the area where they live. Just 10% say it is a major problem locally and 28% say it is a minor problem, while nearly half (45%) say it is not a problem. Another 17% have no opinion.”

Can you really blame them, Save Jerseyans?

Mainstream media outlets routinely ignore voter fraud stories. The American people have heard more on their nightly news broadcasts about Big Bird, tax returns and binders than, for example, the great work performed by James O’Keefe.

People are smart, but there’s a lot of learned ignorance out there. The poll didn’t ask about voter id laws; Americans nevertheless instinctively know they makes sense.
