Tribune perpetuates voter fraud myth in publishing letter to editor

I was dismayed to see Allen Pritzlaff’s letter (“Investigate, don’t dismiss, claims of voter fraud,” Dec. 3) quoting the wrongly cited Washington Post survey (it was from Monkey Cage). The demand that we must investigate fraud is justified, but he neglected to note that the claims of that study have been investigated and declared inaccurate, several times. It is ironic that The Tribune is perpetuating the voter fraud myth just by printing Mr. Pritzlaff’s letter.
