How much voter fraud has been stopped before with prosecutors present?

Lots? Some? Hardly any?

Efficacy can't be measured precisely, but there IS an important value to having them in the polling places.

Since the limited number of prosecutors can't be in every polling place the value is in the fact that perps never know which precinct the plain-clothed feds are stationed in. This keeps them from having a free hand.

The idea of the Justice Department announcing beforehand that no LE will be posted in polls is damn negligence and an open invitation to fraud. A kindergartner can figure this out.

In addition, there are precincts in the ghettos and barrios that GOP volunteer poll watchers refuse to enter or sit in all day doing their watching. So, having law enforcement prosecutors stationed in polling places or making the rounds during election day is a definite plus.

Let the games begin, sigh.
