Importantly, the AP study also found no systematic collusion or “rigging” in those cases. Nearly every one was an individual acting alone. They included a man who thought (incorrectly) that he could vote while on parole, a woman who sent in a ballot for her recently-deceased mother, and a man who voted once as himself, then again as his son.
Even when the frame is widened, the result is the same. A database search of billions of ballots cast over 40 years of US elections found roughly 1,000 individual examples of voter fraud.
This kind of isolated occurrence of fraud will continue to exist, it will almost always be caught by the systems designed to do so, and it will never rise to the level that changes election results. A conspiracy large enough to make a difference “would be the most extensive conspiracy in the history of planet Earth,” said election law expert David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan nonprofit Center for Election Innovation & Research.

Republican states care more about election integrity than cheating Democrat politicians. Like the rest of the world.
Luckily? Why? Is there more voter fraud in red states than blue states? Oh, wait, the frequency of voter fraud is pretty much none. See my previous post inn this thread.
If I remember correctly, in the last election, the majority of voter fraud was conducted by Republicans. I guess Republicans are the cheaters..

Okay, show those polls.
Data, and facts, show that our elections are very secure. I've posted links that prove that. Now, if you have evidence of wide spread voter fraud, please do post it.

So, it's a conservative news source that you're "quoting."
Without evidence, a claim is merely an unsubstantiated idea or opinion.

Go to the ABC News website to find out the truth.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
A standard rule of debate, that I learned years ago in high school, is that the person who makes the assertion must back up that assertion with their data or facts. It's your responsibility to back up your claim.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
