You guys are absolutely right about the story I linked to.
But c'mon. It took two seconds to find stories like this:
Channel 2 found that in the last eight elections during the last 10 years 232 people with death certificates had voted after they had died – some more than once.
Very few people are caught in the act of voter fraud because nobody is looking. Plus, the only way that so called "fake" names would be caught is if we KNEW to look for them.
All these stories about
dead people voting are out there because it's easy to cross check the "people who voted" database with the "people who died before voting day" one. The Social Security Administration maintains a death database.
If I signed Charles Henderson up as a voter from an address that I made up and printed documented proof via Photoshop, nobody is ever going to be the wiser. Because Charles Henderson will be living at 123 Fake Street until the day he dies, which will be never, because he doesn't exist.
In the 2008 presidential election, I almost voted for someone else because the 98 year old poll worker mis-heard my name. They were already crossing the guy with a similar last name as mine off the list and handing me a ballot before I corrected it.
It's absurdly easy to walk in and give a fake name if you already know the name is in the registration book.
You guys are both intelligent individuals and should be able to acknowledge that anyone with an 8th grade education and access to TPB.org could pull this off without trying very hard.
When elections are decided by a couple hundred votes out of hundreds of thousands cast (see recent WI Supreme Court race) the incentive to cheat like this is definitely there.
