    @Awesomo85 Rephrase: “As long as we have voting, a little voter fraud is acceptable”. Obviously voter fraud is NOT acceptable, but any system that covers 200 million or so potential voters cannot be completely foolproof. Like security systems, the goal is to have so many different safeguards that the number of violations becomes vanishingly small. The fruitless efforts to find any widespread voter fraud to date indicate that we have been successful.

      And to add, our last couple elections have been the most secure, with the least voter fraud in history.

        It’s only on par with the zero reported voter fraud in Russian elections!

        I’m sorry, but some of us consider the electoral college and gerrymandering voter fraud.
