The thing is, if you think about this for even two seconds you realize how hard it is to actually commit voting fraud. That's why most of the known fraud occurs not by individuals but by intermediaries 'losing' votes.
If I say I'm John Doe at James Lane then you can trivially verify this in multiple ways. You can check the prior voting records, you can check the death records, you can check property information. If another person comes by and says they're John Doe at James Lane then you can send mail to said address asking them to verify their identity / vote.
- jimbo808 1y agoIt doesn't matter if you commit voting fraud. It matters that people are aware of the fact that voter identity is not verified. It undermines peoples' trust in the election process, and in democracy overall.
