    "Voter Suppression Group's Poll Finds Most Do Not Consider 'Voter
    Fraud' A Significant Problem" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=57699>

Think Progress 
<http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/01/02/3111541/judicial-watch-voter-fraud-poll/>:

    A new poll
    <http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/new-judicial-watch-breitbart-poll-shows-77-of-americans-concerned-about-government-corruption-majority-see-it-getting-worse/>
    by a pro-voter suppression group asked 1,000 American adults about
    the issue of voter fraud in the United States. And despite their
    arguably slanted question, just 36 percent of those polled agreed
    with the group's premise that it is a "major problem."

    Judicial Watch
    <http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/09/12/829281/voter-suppression-brought-to-you-by-conservative-billionaire-oil-heir/>,
    a right-wing group

    in the push for more voting restrictions, joined with the
    conservative Breitbart.com to sponsor the December poll. After
    asking questions about general corruption in Washington, D.C., the
    pollster (a GOP-connected

    firm called the polling company, inc./WomanTrend) posed the voter
    fraud question. "Voter fraud occurs when people who are not eligible
    to vote do so anyway, or when one voter casts multiple ballots in a
    single election," they asked, giving respondent the options of "a
    major problem in the U.S.," "a minor problem in the U.S.," "not a
    problem in the U.S.," and "don't know/can't judge."
