This is not surprising, but that doesn’t make it any less infuriating. If they caught 1,500, that means probably 2x slipped by. Certainly in counties where the election office is 1) not as diligent, or 2) complicit. Some quick calculations, and I’d guess there could be 50,000 or more of these fake registrations, soon to be mail-in ballots, sloshing around the state. The only we will ever see justice is by winning. We have to win.
It would be far less expensive to simply fingerprint every voter and have it compared to one’s fingerprints on file uploaded into the voting database. If you haven’t gotten fingerprints done before voting, too bad! It would literally end vote fraud. Remember Iraq, how people voted for the first time after Sadat Heussein died, and they had photos on the news of them with their index fingers purple from fingerprints?
