Difficult Quote by Clay Aiken
“I don't think that there's substantiated evidence that shows that voter fraud is such a rampant problem that we have to put in place measures that people have to pass in order to exercise that constitutional free right. Voting should be -- and is required to be -- a right that is unencumbered. That does not have tests that people must pass… Anything put in place to restrict that right, or to make it more difficult for people to exercise it, should be outlawed, and should not be allowed.”
