Welcome back to the Politics of Prosecution Podcast! This podcast examines the interaction between politics, broadly defined, and criminal prosecution on the local, state and federal levels. Our goal is to produce a variety of shows using different media. The podcast’s first series is created and produced by students in High Point University’s Honors Program. They will look at a variety of issues raised by ongoing events.
This fifteenth episode focuses on election and voter fraud. With the repeated allegations of voter fraud and vote suppression, an examination of voter fraud cases seems particularly appropriate. We discuss the different types of voter fraud. Additionally, we highlight four cases from different states across the country. Through these cases, we show how different prosecutors will handle these types of cases differently. We conclude with a discussion about how avoid voter fraud in the future, and explore the question: will voter fraud become more highly prosecuted after the election?
