The United States national election is now only three months away and it
should be expected that the out-and-out lies emanating from both
parties will increase geometrically as
the polling date nears. One of the more interesting claims regarding the
election itself is the White House assertion that large scale voting by
mail will permit fraud, so much so that the result of the voting will
be unreliable or challenged. To be sure, it is not as if voter fraud is
unknown in the United States. The victory of John F. Kennedy 1960
presidential election has often been credited to all the graveyards in
Mayor Richard Daley’s Chicago voting to swing Illinois into the
Democratic camp.
