How will that stop behind the scene fraud? It wasn’t the voter committing the fraud it was an election official/worker.
Plenty of cases where it is the voter committing the fraud. One ID, one vote. We need comprehensive election security. :box:There is no silver bullet to stop ALL voter fraud. But as your link points out, voter fraud is a real problem.

Didn’t answer the question and in person voter fraud is a non issue.
Republicans should devote their time to making sure every vote cast is counted. That is a much bigger problem than any so called voter fraud. Oh wait, that the point isn’t it.

Nor can voter fraud prosecutions be used to measure the overall scope of fraud. That reasoning was roundly rejected by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, a decision that the Supreme Court affirmed when it upheld Indiana’s voter ID law. The 7th Circuit opinion noted:

But the absence of prosecutions is explained by the endemic under-enforcement of minor criminal laws (minor as they appear to the public and prosecutors, at all events) and by the extreme difficulty of apprehending a voter impersonator. He enters the polling places, gives a name that is not his own, votes, and leaves. If later it is discovered that the name he gave is that of a dead person, no one at the polling place will remember the face of the person who gave that name, and if someone did remember it, what would he do with the information?

As the 7th Circuit said, such fraud “has a parallel to littering, another crime the perpetrators of which are almost impossible to catch.”

When a lawbreaker is “almost impossible to catch,” states are faced with two options, according to the court: States may “impose a very severe criminal penalty” or “take preventative action, as Indiana had done by requiring a photo ID.” And that law has been in place for more than a decade, with none of the problems critics predicted.

:lol:Sorry, but I missed the part about counting all votes.
Can you give us a brief on the findings of Kris Kobach?
