Letter: Beware fraud closer to home

By Deborah Larner, Vancouver
Published: July 20, 2018, 6:00am

My husband had the news on the other day, and I overheard a reporter say that the Democrats were worried about Russian meddling in our elections. This was funny, I said to my husband, because Democrats are not the least bit concerned about voter fraud right here in our own United States of America. For example, Democrats rail against voter ID laws. Then my husband said: “Democrats don’t like Russians meddling in our elections because they don’t like anybody else to be in control of voter fraud besides themselves.” Then we were both laughing.
