Quotes by John Fund

Given that Mr. Kerry is clearly exaggerating what happened to minority voters in the 2000 election in Florida, maybe we should wait for him to provide evidence of what he is alleging in 2004.

I suggest three things a) every state should require photo Id to vote. We demand it to board planes and rent a video at Blockbuster. Why not when voting? B) Clear statewide registration lists that can be pruned of ineligible names and which can be compared with those in other states to weed out duplicates. C) More effective and frequent prosecution of voter fraud crimes, with no regard to whose party they impact.

I think Democrats often hold the unconstrained vision, and Republicans focus more on the Rule of Law.

I think the bitterness generated by this election should prompt people of good will in both parties to try and find common ground, or as Democratic Senator Chris Dodd put it, Make it easy to vote, but tough to cheat.

No party has a monopoly on honesty, but with the collapse of old-style GOP machines in places like Indiana and Long Island, New York, it's Democrats who have a greater opportunity to cheat.

That the decision is taken away from the voters, and as in 2000 turned over to the lawyers and the courts.

Well, Mr. Kerry's constant unfounded references to African-Americans having their votes: stolen or taken away in 2000 are far more likely to exacerbate racial divisions.
