Some federal prosecutors dug in and refused to bring charges and give credence to the GOP’s voter fraud claims right before the 2006 midterm election because there was little to no evidence of wrongdoing. David Iglesias, the US attorney in New Mexico, for example, saw no reason to file charges in an instance where someone registered a thirteen-year-old boy to vote unbeknownst to him and his parents. For that and similar acts of integrity, Iglesias and seven other federal prosecutors were fired.
