When I tried to look up things like that, I found that there were

Obviously that is ridiculous, and should be investigated and cleaned
up. The number of registered voters is usually about twice the
number of votes cast.

First, ONE fraudulent vote is one too many.

Second, a Google search of "voter+fraud+statistics" yields over
700,000 hits.

It's out there. Whatever the expense and effort, we've got to drive
the number to zero. If it saves one child's life...

No, wait...

That's about guns. Never mind.

As an aside...

Three weeks ago, two Florida election officials deposited a total of
1,100 absentee ballots with the post office. Today is election day in
Florida and the ballots were not delivered until today.

The post office, when contacted, thought the ballots were bulk rate,
to be delivered when convenient (they all had first-class postage).

That's 1,100 people who did not get to vote in today's Florida
primary.

Didn't look at the link, sorry. Wasn't FL contested a few years back
because of "hanging chads" or whatever, that delivered the national
election to Bush?

Yes I think that voter fraud should be rooted out. Seriously. Really!

But how to do that? We would need honest and reliable civil servants for
that, who won't sell a few votes here and there to help the good
candidates. See where I am going? Perhaps the best way would be to
implant an RFID into every legal citizen and making sure his/her vote
gets properly registered. All that socalled privacy and secrecy is just
show. Let's dispense with that. Right?
