It may be easy to engage in Tax and UEI fraud, and they get away with it because the money has already left the country, but they do get detected, regularly. To follow your metaphor out, if this were happening with voting records, we'd have lots of people reporting that they went to vote and their vote was already cast. That is not the case.
The way to commit voter fraud is to determine non-voting registered voters in a given jurisdiction and submit ballots on their behalf.
In some jurisdictions there may be 1000s of non-voting registered voters who have moved away, died, or never voted at all (automatically registered voters, etc.)
Pulling that off for thousands of non-voting registered voters would require hundreds of conspirators, assuming generously that one conspirator could physically vote in ten voting locations in a day, and if you have any errors which cause double voting you're very likely to be busted.
Nevertheless, voter fraud happens. While I agree it doesn't effect the outcome of that many elections, I think the loose handling of voter rolls and voter identification, contribute to a distrust in the integrity of US elections.
Interestingly, vote by mail may be more secure than polling stations, because vote-by-mail often requires signature matching (matching signature on ballot cover with signature on registration). But the ACLU is fighting tooth and nail against signature matching.
All true, but not anywhere in line with your previous claim:
>In some jurisdictions there may be 1000s of non-voting registered voters who have moved away, died, or never voted at all (automatically registered voters, etc.)
The database you mentioned consists of a grand total of 1,285 proven instances of voter fraud over 4 years. Nearly all of them are for single individuals voting twice, usually by submitting a absentee ballot, then voting in-person. There are vanishingly few instances of someone manipulating an election on a significant scale, by tens or hundreds of votes.
So which is it? Are there thousands of instances in multiple jurisdictions per election that we've completely failed to detect, or just a few thousand nation-wide over multiple elections and four years?
Did you actually read through those? They're either local elections, or single instances. Neither of which would be considered impactful or even of scale to change much of anything... But
It's rather strange that they left out the most recent and egregious instance of fraud. It just happened in NC. Funny how quiet the right gets when its one of their own...The GOP busted for fraud. Election invalidated. Just more projection from the party of projection. You can do better.
The NC case was related to ballot harvesting which is illegal in NC and is discussed in detail in the link below.
Ballot harvesting is a practice celebrated and embraced by progressive democrats. Recent changes in California law make ballot harvesting easier and more susceptible to fraud. Now, according to headlines at least, the GOP is ramping up their efforts to get more into the ballot harvesting game too.
This comments demonstrates a willful ignorance to actual facts and shows a bit of gas lighting. So cite the stats, the studies or any meaningful article that shows there is what you claim. False voting records.
