If someone mails in my absentee ballot and I don’t complain, how do you detect that voter fraud?
replyOr if someone knows their friend is sick and votes without an id, how do you detect that?
It seems like there are currently many ways to vote illegally that don’t get detected.
Perhaps so, but you still have to show that it is happening, not merely that it is possible. Moreover, you have to show that whatever cures you propose are both 1/proportional to the harm and 2/minimize undesirable side effects. (One challenge with the latter is that for some people, those side effects are actually desirable.)
replyCan you describe specifically how someone finds enough complaint-free absentee ballots and sick friends to vote at any meaningful scale?
replyDoing this even 10 times seems unbelievably hard.
Illegal voting is "rare" because the system is set up so that it is in most cases impossible to detect.
replyCan you describe the specific chain of events required to create a fraudulent vote that is "impossible" to detect?
replySurely if you can confidently state the system not only is this way, but is purposely designed this way, you should have zero problem describing it exactly step by step.
Extra credit if you can describe a method that can produce 10, 100, or 1000 votes.
