Jesse Ventura: Voter fraud is a myth, Election Day should be a national holiday

"There is not much voter fraud. When are people going to learn this? They did studies when I was governor of the state of Minnesota. voter fraud is like 1/10th of one percent. You are lucky if you find 5 votes in an election that were fraudulently cast. There is not this huge block electing anybody with voter fraud. It's a big red herring. It's much ado about nothing. You shouldn't need a passport to go vote. Voting is a right that every citizen in America, that our country and Constitution provides that right. Voting should not be difficult, it should be the opposite, it should be easy to do. I think, personally, that we should have one national election day a year and it should be a holiday. That way there is no excuse for not voting."
