Election officials at Illinois' state and several county levels shake their heads and refuse to cooperate with a new commission President Donald Trump established to scour the nation's voting rolls.
There's no problem here, and we're not cooperating, Cook County Clerk David Orr said in statement. The Illinois Board of Elections - headed now by prominent Republican Party official Bill Cadigan - echoed Orr's position.
Still, a newly released voter fraud database includes over 100 individuals in Illinois that have been convicted of criminal activity surrounding the state's election process.
Last Thursday, Heritage Foundation released a new edition of its voter fraud database. Featuring well over 100 new cases, the database documents 1,071 instances of voter fraud spanning 47 states, including 938 criminal convictions.
“This revamped edition of the database separates cases by type of disposition, allowing readers to easily distinguish not only what type of fraud occurred but the outcome of the case—criminal convictions, pre-trial diversion programs, and other types of adjudication used in various states and counties across the United States.” [The Daily Signal]
