Answer 1

Fraud in voter registration and voting:

Voting under fraudulent voter registrations that either use a phony name and a real or fake address or claim residence in a particular jurisdiction where the registered voter does not actually live and is not entitled to vote.
Registering in multiple locations and voting in the same election in more than one jurisdiction or state.

The McCain-Palin campaign accuses ACORN, a community activist group that operates nationwide, of perpetrating "massive voter fraud." It says Obama has “long and deep” ties to the group. We find both claims to be exaggerated. But we also find Obama has understated the extent of his work with the group.

• Neither ACORN nor its employees have been found guilty of, or even charged with, casting fraudulent votes. What a McCain-Palin Web ad calls "voter fraud" is actually voter registration fraud. Several ACORN canvassers have been found guilty of faking registration forms and others are being investigated. But the evidence that has surfaced so far shows they faked forms to get paid for work they didn’t do, not to stuff ballot boxes.
• Obama’s path has intersected with ACORN on several occasions – more often than he allowed in the final debate.

Media have received scores of e-mails asking about Obama’s connection to the community activist group Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, or ACORN. A McCain-Palin ad released on the Web accuses Obama of having ties to the organization, which it says engages in "intimidation tactics," "massive voter fraud" and "pressuring banks to issue risky loans."

President Trump recently revived his false claim of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election, and called for an investigation into the issue. Claims of election “rigging” and fraudulent voting have been debunked in study after study. Elected officials, election administrators, experts, and leaders from across the political spectrum have spoken out against these untrue allegations.
