The definition of election fraud needs to be expanded and enforced. Candidates, those in public office, and their backers should be held legally accountable for election fraud for lying to or misleading voters.
Why is this important?
When candidates accuse each other of lying, I am left confused. How can I possibly feel confident in choosing a candidate in the midst of such a climate? Lying to constituents should be considered election fraud. Candidates and their backers should make statements based only on facts and be able to support their claims. There is too much at stake to allow them to be able to create the impression they want by misinforming voters.
