It just made my morning to see that not only is the AP reporting this correctly, but the headline explicitly states the insane rarity of voter fraud. (Non-citizen or otherwise.) You have a better chance of getting a clear picture of Bigfoot than you do of having a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction.

    My brother in Christ

    No. I’m not your brother in Christ. In both that I couldn’t care less about some fictitious “Christ” and that I have no relation to you.

    I once poured over Kris Kobach’s office records when he was Kansas’s attorney general, and over the course of fifteen years he found less than ten cases of it affecting even fewer votes.

    Congrats? you’ve proved my point? Non-Zero amount happens… How is that detected? And why would it be beneficial to be harder to make to make that detection?

    Voter fraud doesn’t exist, and pretending it does is getting sillier by the day.

    You stated yourself that some do occur. Which is it?

    If this was literal murder… a relatively rare event… do we want to make it harder to catch the murderers? Why is this mentality only around voting not applied elsewhere?

    You’re failing to understand the premise here… If it happens so little that it doesn’t matter, then why relax the standard? It’s clearly working. You spook people who think it could happen when you do that. There’s no positive to doing that. So why do it?
