>Personally, I don't know how to reconcile being told that voter fraud is exceedingly rare when I see articles like this where individuals and teams of people are caught falsifying information on this scale. Why? These articles are incidents of exceedingly rare voter fraud. And it's worth noting that this wasn't an example of what, say, the Trump campaign is alleging (i.e., that ballots have been falsified), but rather an fraudulent attempt at registration (and also nomination as a candidate). No one argues that voting irregularities never happen anywhere, just that the system is fine and these incidents are, indeed rare and caught when they happen. >If the process for identifying fraud isn't particularly robust or thorough, how can you legitimately say fraud is extremely rare? This question makes the assumption that the process for identifying fraud "isn't particularly robust or thorough", which in turn seems to be begging the question.
