    Assessing the Effectiveness of the MOVE Act

    Protecting the Right to Vote from Voter Fraud

    The right to vote in free and fair elections is one of the fundamental rights underlying the democratic principles of the American republic. It should not be diminished or stolen by fraudulently cast ballots. Watch Here.

    The right to vote in a free and fair election is the most basic civil right, on which depend many of the other rights of the American people. Congress and the states can and should act to guarantee that every eligible individual is able to vote and that his vote is not stolen by fraud.
