Thats not how it is done though. You get as many non-people, dead people ect. on the registration rolls, and then you can backfill the votes you need.
It's where organization really counts.
I have always lived in northwest IN. Gary, Hammond, East Chicago are historically really bad with fraud. Gary always is the last place in the state to report results. They come up with some unbeleivable turnout % when they need too.
Bob Beckel told a story on the five about how a Gary mayor produced enough votes for his guy, after the rest of the state reported and the number of needed votes was determined.
I can see how some of you don't think that voter fraud is an issue if you live somewhere where fraud doesn't happen much, if at all. If you happened to live somewhere where voter fraud is the standard, your opinion might change.
