House Judiciary, Full Committee Hearing: “Protecting the Right to Vote: Election Deception and Irregularities in Recent Federal Elections” March 6, 2007. “Election intimidation and deception have become an unfortuante aspect of recent federal elections, threatening to undermine Americans’ confidence in a democratic government,” Conyers said. “This hearing will expose some of the problems that voters have experienced, the causes of those problems, and offer leadership in developing meaningful solutions. Our goal is to protect every citizen’s constitutional right to vote, and to thwart any future attempts to disenfranchise eligible voters through fraud, deception and intimidation.”
