Fascinating that the Pew official quoted by the New York Times about myriad problems with voter registrations in this country –– as detailed in a Pew report — says problems aren’t proof of fraud. Well, sure. But then David Becker of Pew says the problems definitively are NOT leading to fraud.

Mr. Becker warned that poor record keeping at the registration stage is not evidence of fraud at polling places. “These bad records are not leading to fraud but could lead to the perception of fraud,” he said.

How can Mr. Becker say with certainty that no fraud has occurred?
