Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt looked. And found seven distinct types of “irregular” and fraudulent voting, detailed in his report “Voting Irregularities in Philadelphia County, 2012 Primary Election.” Questioned by NewsWorks, Schmidt, who campaigned on a promise of election transparency and reform, concluded: “There are already plenty of laws on the books addressing voter fraud. You don’t need a new law to say you can’t vote twice. There are few prosecutions because it’s very, very difficult to prove, and nobody looked before. You don’t know how often it goes on if you don’t look.”
