Federal Election Commissioner, Ellen Weintraub, pushed back against the idea of voter fraud during a special program on SiriusXM’s Urban View channel.
The show, hosted by Joe Madison, was called The Vote Must Go On: In Person or By Mail. During the program Weintraub called voter fraud “exceedingly rare” and said it almost “never happens.”
“It’s a criminal violation and most people don’t want to go to jail,” she said. “Most people do not think it’s worth it to change one vote or several votes. The states and localities that run these elections have a lot of protections in place.”
Other guests included Debra Cleaver, founder and CEO of VoteAmerica; Carolyn Maloney, Congresswoman and House Oversight Committee Chair; Scott T. Nago, Hawaii Chief Election Officer; Frank LaRose, Ohio Secretary of State, Tahesha Way, New Jersey Secretary of State; Kim Wyman, Secretary of State of Washington; and Bill Burgess, president of the Oregon Association of County Clerks.
Joe Madison can be heard every morning on SiriusXM’s Urban View Channel 126 from from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
