Oi, no you have to have your name on the rolls and there is a dedicated building were you as an individual are required to cast your vote. Go the the wrong building and you wont be on the roll.
You can vote multiple times if you own homes in multiple states but:
When you register to vote you generally ID. at the polls you just give your name and address. generally everyone in the room lives in the area. I certainly know who are my neighbors. you can of course lie about who you are, and you might even be able to cast that vote; if someone doesn’t call you on it. but if that person shows up shit is going to hit the fan.
Can you prove that your vote was counted and that the number of votes for your candidate went up by one as a result? If you can’t prove it, then it’s based on trust.
You know how people outside the USA vote? They go there, show their ID, get a tick on the list of voters, and do the voting.
Same as inside the USA.
Interesting, given the stories of people voting several times by just going to different places.

go work an election as a poll worker.
Yes, and again, it’s all based on trust.
How is trust involved in that process?

That’s on the level of “everything could be made up to fool me” or matrix kind of stuff. You can simply be a poll worker yourself.
Hardly. Historically there has been a lot of cheating in elections. Look at Chicago up to the 1970s. Election fraud was common there.

Nobody can prove that there’s less cheating in Chicago elections today than in the 1970s, but people trust that it’s more honest.
