Griffith said that allegations of election fraud have been part of the political conversation for centuries in the United States, but that advances in technology - the rise of electronic voting systems, for instance - and shifts in policy mean "these issues are not only a matter of history."
Former Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund advocated in favor of requiring voters to show a valid government ID at the polls. Photo IDs are necessary to access any number of services, Fund said, so the rules contribute to the greater good. Citing the example of several state and local elections that were decided by a small number of votes in close elections, he said, “voter fraud can make a difference.”
