The business about ID seems like a no-brainer but isn't. My severely disabled wife for example needed her out-of-state birth certificate ($25) to a get a Florida ID. She hadn't been able to drive in years but she never missed an election. Her voter registration itself wasn't enough even though such proof is required to register to vote to begin with. It came by snail mail. Then the trip to get the FL Dept. of Motor Vehicles was not easy. It literally took hours just to get ready to go out the door. I'm out-of-work during this time of course and believe me, there was always work to do, so I was not happy about that but maintained a smile for my wife exercising her right to vote. After that ordeal her ballot was considered a provisional ballot because it took so long to get the birth certificate.
Furthermore they know the poorest citizens are far more transient and won't vote if they have to redo the ordeal every move. Students also are of course transient so they began removing on-campus polling stations, not accepting student ID, etc,...anything to stop the votes.
And, of course, the best argument is that there has never been a problem to begin with. My state, which now funds the "Voter Integrity Force" of prosecutors literally has a .000019 voter fraud rate. They had to create the problem themselves to charge anyone by telling those with felony convictions to register to vote then charging them because they weren't aware they still weren't allowed to vote. A few other folks voted for deceased spouses or in two states. The double state voters are much less likely to be caught now because my state withdrew from ERIC, a database maintained for cross-checking state votes. The reason given was a conspiracy, the nonsense of which I don't remember. But it increases the likelihood of fraud. Even then it would be insignificant in 16 million votes.
Vote by mail votes are tracked by the postal system every step of the way. The gentlemen caught cheating in NC was caught because he dumped all of his stolen ballots in one PO Box. To actually cheat with mail-in ballots would require a team of trusted and reliable people dedicated to silence and all avoiding detection. Let's say their goal is stealing 1,000 (still insignificant) ballots. They can't do it at the PO, more alarm bells, so they have to steal from individual mailboxes and every single theft avoid detection by cameras and witnesses. Now assign 50 box thefts each to 20 trusted reliable people who will never speak of it under any circumstance. Cross your fingers now that every agent is 100% successful and never has any temptation to utter a word, not even to a spouse. Sound like a sane risk for 5 years in jail and a $5k fine?
Half the folks here are too apathetic to vote. Why would an illegal alien care even more and risk everything to vote?
IMO voter fraud should be concentrated in the areas where we've witnessed it, such as, gerrymandering, fake electors, insurrections, stacking election boards, and propaganda.
