I believe the word is “courageous”, minister.
That’s the beauty of turning up and putting an x on a piece of paper. You can of course slip in the occasional fraudulent vote (pretend to be someone who isn’t going to vote). You can register a false person in the address. It’s quite easy to swing dozens of votes across the country, with an increasing risk of being caught
But the effort it takes would be better spent getting the vote out for your candidate. You can pretend to be your neighbour once or twice, but if you turn up at the voting station several times you’re going to be noticed.
Better to offer a lift to your identified voters to make sure they legitimately vote for you even though it’s raining.

- flir 3y agoI think he literally means dozens of individual votes, not dozens of elections. 7AM-10PM, I could do... what... 30 votes, if I planned meticulously? With the risk of a collision going up with each attempt, and the chances of swinging an election very close to nil. Like OP said, it's more effective to campaign.
