You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.

    I gave one example above, but the short answer is, people have tried to find it and haven’t succeeded.

    Like Bigfoot.

      Voter roles are registration are effective. I vote in almost every election, and they can tell my ballot status when I go in. My vote is tied to my address and other factors, so it seems like it would be clear if I wasn’t a legal citizen.

      I also have to show a government ID when I vote, but it doesn’t seem like that’s made a big difference in the security of the elections I participate in.
