If vote fraud were illiminated,

Dems wouldn’t have 10% of the national offices.

That's not true. If vote fraud were eliminated, Democrats would have to run considerably to the right of where they are today, but they would position themselves to win about 50% of their races.

The politicians who would lose the most from the elimination of voter fraud are the left-leaning Republicans. Republican voters tolerate such politicians when the only alternative is a further-left Democrat. If the elimination of vote fraud would allow more conservative Republicans to win, voters would no longer tolerate the left-leaning ones.

IMHO, that's the real reason the GOP often doesn't seem interested in fighting vote fraud. Too many members rely upon it for their continued political existence.
