Life and career [edit]
Fund was born in Tucson, Arizona. Fund attended California State University, Sacramento where he studied Journalism and Economics.[2] There is, however, no reference in his bio at the Leadership Institute to Fund having earned a degree.[3] He joined The Wall Street Journal as a deputy editorial features editor in 1984 and was a member of the editorial board from 1995 through 2001. The articles he has written have appeared in Esquire, Reader's Digest, Reason, The New Republic, and National Review.
Fund cowrote a 1992 book, Cleaning House: America's Campaign for Term Limits (ISBN 0-89526-516-8) with James Coyne. He also collaborated with Rush Limbaugh on another 1992 book, The Way Things Ought to Be (ISBN 067175145X),[4][5] transcribing it from tape and editing it.
In 2004, Fund wrote Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy (ISBN 1-59403-061-8), in which he strongly criticizes the American election system, describing it as "befitting an emerging Third World country rather than the world's leading democracy". He has since updated the book.[6] His latest book Who's Counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk also addresses the issue of voter fraud in U.S. elections.
