Ahead of Trial, Pennsylvania Admits Voter Fraud Does Not Exist
<div class='node-body'><p>A pre-trial document made available ahead of a lawsuit by voter rights groups challenging the Pennsylvania's newly enacted voter ID legislation shows that the state's defense of the law will not present any evidence that "in-person voter fraud" exists in the state or that any investigations or prosecutions of such fraud have been conducted in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Further, the document stipulates that the government will not argue that voter fraud is likely in the absence of the law.</p></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
