Bad votes can do much more damage collectively, but the odds that a single vote will make a difference is slight, because so few elections are decided by only one vote. It happens, though. My point is that if showing an ID is too burdensome, or “intimidating” a requirement for voting, it’s also too burdensome, or intimidating, to require for gun purchases. There is a right to vote, and there is a right to buy guns, and criminals and illegal aliens aren’t supposed to do either one. (So, you’ve got to check, right?)

Yes.

Would a bus load (say 50 people) each voting once in a dozen precincts throughout the day have any effect?

Last go around there were multiple reports of bus loads showing up at poles across the nation. And oddly enough some precincts had voter turnouts of over 110%, 95+% of which all voted for the same candidate...
