16. How many instances of fraud has really been proven?
I agree that voter fraud should be illegal and should be prevented.

But it can and should be prevented under past methods. If the poll worker suspects that a person is not who they say they are then challenge them. (This should not be abused and if it is then that poll worker should be investigated and determine whether they should be barred from working elections)

A poll worker should compare signatures on file with the voter sign in. A poll worker should have some knowledge of who lives in the ward/precinct.

In a very few states they don't even have voter registration. They know everyone in the precinct!
