Personally I'm curious how much voter fraud is committed by parents of college students who receive their students absentee ballots and decide to "fill them out" for them. It's the most intentional voter fraud that I'm aware of at the moment and non-conspiratorial. Things like this pop up on reddit occasionally. https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/9twaf9/gfs_dad_filled_out_her_mailin_ballot_forged_her/ https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/9twaf9/gfs_dad... https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/9ni5uf/family_filing_extra_ballots_in_my_name/ https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/9ni5uf/family_... https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/j7440r/parents_voted_for_me_against_my_will/ https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/j7440r/parents...

Assuming college students are on average more liberal than their parents, parents fraudulently filling in votes for their children would benefit the GOP more than the Democrats.

I'd be very surprised (given the appeal to Reddit's political leanings) if all of those aren't examples of reddit's favorite past-time (creative writing). Like, come on, there is no possible way these people are actually dumb enough to even question whether or not someone voting for you is allowed, yet they all ask that question. Because if they didn't ask a dumb question like that, their creative writing sample wouldn't get to live in /r/legaladvice.
