The DEMOCRAT Party line treats voter fraud as little more than a GOP fever dream — yet the party’s presidential candidate Joe Biden spent decades of his career sounding the alarm about it.
Biden, the DEMOCRAT standard bearer, consistently shared GOP concerns about voter fraud during his 36 years as a United States senator from Delaware.
“Should Voters Be Allowed To Register On Election Day? No,” Biden wrote in 1977. He even chided President Carter for proposing it.
A “reservation I have and one that is apparently shared by some of the top officials within the Department of Justice is that the president’s proposal could lead to a serious increase in vote fraud,” Biden wrote.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Biden worked closely with now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to stiffen penalties for voter fraud.
In 1988 — the same year his son’s drug record was being expunged — Biden introduced the “Anti-Corruption Act,” which McConnell co-sponsored. The bill would have enacted penalties for anyone who deprived anyone of “a fair and impartially conducted election process through the use of fraudulent ballots or voter registration forms or the filing of fraudulent campaign reports.”
Biden and McConnell tried again in 1989.
The 1989 version also died as a standalone bill. Undeterred, Biden tried to shoehorn the voter fraud elements into the Federal Crime Control Act, in 1989 and the National Drug Control Strategy Act of 1990 — they went nowhere.
When Biden introduced the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1993, McConnell — his faithful partner on the effort — snuck in voter fraud provisions as an amendment. But the bill died.
McConnell introduced the act on his own in 1995 without Biden’s participation — it died again.
By the time he served as vice president to Barack Obama, Biden had fully, and publicly, abandoned his former views.
“Why, without any proof of voter fraud, have 81 bills been introduced in state legislative bodies, to make it harder for people to vote,” Biden asked an audience in 2014.
