It would make sense for someone who wanted to cheat in an election to try to attack the actual voting system. Everybody knows that and everyone tries to prevent it.
By all accounts this has been extremely effective.
You may hear one of the candidates talk about it like it actually exists but the amount of fraudulent voting is miniscule.
Issues with the voters registered, such as not removing voters who die or move from the rolls is not fraudulent voting unless someone votes. Some of our systems might have trouble keeping up with things like that but that is simply bookkeeping unless a vote gets cast.
If applications or blank ballots get sent to the wrong address, it is still not a fraudulent vote unless someone tries to vote.
The real issue in this country is voter suppression or uncounted legitimate votes.
Our systems tend to reject ballots is anything is questionable. We also know that some want to make voting as difficult as possible to discourage certain legal voters from trying.
Asking your followers to provide a threatening presence at a polling place isn't fraudulent butit is designed to suppress some voting.
Every citizen should be able to vote without being harassed.
We should all want that..
