There are many many examples of this kind of thing in America. Anybody that claims voter fraud doesn't exist is an absolute liar, I believe every single federal election they discover some voter fraud.

The real question is does enough of it happen to make a substantial difference to the outcome? And that's where it gets a lot harder to say for sure.

But it certainly can't be discounted. Americans need to switch to a system where all of the states operate under the same rules and the rules are such that it makes voter fraud easy enough to detect but people can believe with certainty that even if a small amount went undetected it would be too small to make a difference.

Democracy only works if people have faith in it. And you can't have faith in a system that you can't be sure is honest

But doesn't that mean federal overreach or fascism or commyism or somthing? Sounds pretty left wing whatever it is.

To me the rules should be no more universal mail in voting unless you have good reason for an absentee ballot, 2 weeks maximum of early voting and voting day is voting day all absentee ballots must be in on voting day. 

Its just like money the more people between you and your vote the more chance that it is stolen. 

California's voting rules are insane and full of ways to cheat. Making it so anyone can vote harvest including political organizations is just down right stupid and that is how you get the people on skid row paying for votes. Automatic registration when you get a Drivers License and give licenses to anyone including illegals is bad. Universal Mail in Ballots and never cleaning your voter rolls not only is a huge waste of taxpayer funds, you can end up with 10 ballots at your house and those vote harvesters would be happy to collect those for you.

I think voting should take some effort. If its important to you you will find time to go do it and you are more likely to know what/who you are voting for.
