>There is literally nothing stopping anyone from doing that. Other than the fact that it's a serious felony. Additionally how are voter ID laws going to change this? It already requires some level of cooperation by the kid in that they don't show up and vote themselves. If you're talking about absentee ballots, whatever you're using to identify the kid, the parents likely have access to--copy of id, birth certificate etc... So voter ID isn't going to stop this either. >But coordination attacks are not the only thing that matters. Coordination of some kind is required to change the results of an election. If even a few thousand random parents around the country decide to risk jail time to vote for their kid, it isn't going to impact the results of the election, so hardening against this kind of attack is a very low priority. Particularly when there's no cost effective means to stop it.
