Brenda McLean: A case of voter fraud

There has been voter fraud in North Carolina. In fact, in 2014 a long-time friend found out that someone had voted in his name when he went to his election site in Raleigh to cast his vote. He was told that he had already voted in Knightdale during early voting. His name had been in The N&O prior to the election, so someone took that opportunity to vote in his place.

Of course, no one was ever charged with voter fraud. How could that person ever be found?

Just because there may be few convictions of voter fraud does not mean it does not take place. Please take off the rose-colored glasses and accept the truth that voter fraud is alive and well in NC. Photo ID would have eliminated this fraud!
