“…Historically, these barriers were also intended as a means of disenfranchising specific groups of voters, such as certain immigrant groups, African Americans, or the poor (Allen and Allen 1981; Burnham 1986;Keyssar 2000;Reynolds 1993), although contemporary supporters of such laws dispute these intentions. Therefore, the goal of election reformers was not simply to prevent fraud but also to disenfranchise voters.…”

“…Fraud encompasses actions aimed at manipulating election registries and ballots, as well as those aimed at manipulating voters themselves (Birch, 2011). Although the exact extent and nature of such fraud in the American case remains disputed historically (Allen & Allen, 1981; Argersinger, 1985; Burnham, 1974; Campbell, 2003, 2005; Converse, 1972; Cox & Kousser, 1981; Gist, 1961; Jensen, 1971; Keyssar, 2000; Mayfield, 1993; Reynolds, 1980, 1993; Rusk, 1974; Summers, 2001), according to most observers, the turn of the last century marked the heyday of electoral manipulation (Allen & Allen, 1981; Harris, 1934; Sikes, 1928).…”

“…Perhaps those who would steal elections are innovating new ways to better conceal the evidentiary trails that they leave behind. An alternative explanation is that modern American elections have changed radically from those in the past in which corruption was a well-documented reality (Campbell, 2005;Cox & Kousser, 1981;Reynolds, 1993;Summers, 2001). Computerized and instantaneous database information access has simplified the task of monitoring registrations and voting behavior.…”

“…Overton (2007) argues that better monitoring of elections and cleaning up of registration rolls are more important to election integrity than voter ID laws. Better training of election workers or using election methods that minimize the need for poll workers are also important (Alvarez & Hall, 2006;Reynolds, 1993). Election administrators can also compare voter rolls across jurisdictions to eliminate dual registrations and identify cases of voting in two different jurisdictions in the same election.…”
