I think this will continue on until every accepts a national ID card, and there’s some open data across state-lines where you can determine some folks are listed in two or more states.

Personally, I’d to see a $10,000 fine automatically assessed (leaving a judge no choice but to assess and collect the money) if a guy is listed and votes in two districts, or participated in voter fraud....for EACH vote. At that point, it might persuade some folks that it’s not worth the trouble.

Agree - penalties must be assessed or it’s going to continue to get worse.

A light spot is that there seems to be a number of vote fraud investigations happening now. I can only hope there ends up being some consequences - the more severe, the more likely it will reduce.

I hope Trump has something to do with the increased fraud investigating activity.

I think execution would work better. Many of the violators don’t have 10k.

A couple of years ago, there was a substantial investigation across several states. As I recall, they found several thousand people that had voted in multiple states. The fix was for states to clean up the voter rolls. That's an easy fix, the question isn't technical, it's political. God forbid that a mistake might be made and someone might need to re-register.

Now - if someone moves from FL to MN, and doesn't update their FL registration, is it possible for them to vote in both places? Sure. Is it likely? Well.....depends.

I think that where the problem is coming from isn't people intentionally voting in multiple districts. I think that it's from corrupt ballot-counters casting votes for people who haven't voted. How else are some districts getting 100+% voter turnout?

I'll need to dig around on FR, see if I can find the articles that talked about this. It was quite a tempest at the time. The MSM squashed back then, it might be a little more interested now.

1. What you said.

2. Mandatory 1 year and 1 day jail sentence - a felony. That would wipe out their ability to ever vote again, to hold a federal or state job, or to hold any position in government.

You want this to stop? It has to HURT, BADLY.

Also, you need to get a few top-level people who organize this, or who know about it and fail to report it, and give them extended sentences, no possibility of parole.

Yup. Mandatory ID and this:
