Perpetrators then induce victims to send payments (often through stored-value cards such as gift cards), purportedly to reimburse the tech support company for its “over-refund.” Victims have lost hundreds or thousands of dollars to this refund scheme. Perpetrators claim to send refund money to the victim’s bank account but falsely claim that too much money was refunded. Much of this stems from identity theft whereby criminals file false tax returns or supply other bogus information to the IRS to divert refunds to wrong addresses or bank accounts.

However, the judge accepted Gregoire’s victory because with the exception of four ex-felons who admitted to voting for Dino Rossi, the authorities could not determine for whom the other illegal votes were cast.

In the 2022 midterm elections, at least four other Republican candidates (Ron Johnson, Josh Mandel, David McCormick, and Adam Laxalt) have made similar claims that voter fraud only happens in urban (i.e., primarily Democratic) areas. In 1980, Paul Weyrich, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation went further than Reagan in saying that voter suppression was the key to Republicans winning elections, and opposing what he called “Goo-Goo Syndrome” (good government). Even if voter fraud actually was a significant problem, few (if any) of these measures would actually be effective in preventing it. The Supreme Court even approved such measures as late as 1959 in Williams v. Mississippi. Christian nationalists such as Paul Weyrich, co-founder of Moral Majority, have also spoken in favor of voter suppression measures in what they call “leverage” to exclude likely demographics that might oppose theocracy. Barr’s comments are backed by court cases, showing several hundred prosecutions of voter fraud involving mail-in ballots over the last two decades. The trend in the last two decades has been to repeal those disenfranchisement laws. Prosecutors concluded, “This investigation revealed evidence that tends to indicate that the Subject did not intend to or actually reside in Miami-Dade County.” Prosecutors ultimately declined to prosecute due to antiquated and poorly-drafted Florida laws.

What those making these allegations really don’t like is that ACORN was registering Black people to vote. There are still a few lone holdouts still imposing lifelong voting bans on some or all felons or requiring a cumbersome petition instead of making restoration automatic. What those raising this claim really don’t like is the fact that Black people are voting. This claim has been used as an excuse to pass voter ID laws, abolish same-day voter registration, require birth certificates when registering to vote, and conduct frequent purges of the voter rolls. Just the News recently identified several dozen voter fraud cases brought just in the last couple of years.

A hearing is scheduled for July 26, 2021, to consider, among other things, whether to continue the asset freeze, issue a preliminary injunction, order an accounting, and appoint a receiver over Profit Connect.
