It's interesting how everyone is talking about "how this can be so easy". Really what was done here was absolutely small fish compared to the much bigger issues with the US electoral system. I mean party operatives deciding voting districts, the legislative essentially selecting the judicative (admittedly an issue in many other democracies as well), a electoral system where a vote has vastly different influence depending on where you live, election financing which ensure that politicians of any party are beholden to wealthy lobbyists. Really the issue that some small town election officials can fraudulently cast a couple of hundred votes is the least of your worries. Also worth pointing out, they were caught, so it wasn't actually so easy.
