We are obviously restricted to known cases and cannot assume that these are exhaustive, as the very nature of voter fraud makes exposing it difficult. Overstating the conclusions that can be drawn from studies and then doubling down and claiming to have exposed a "myth", as this website does, is far too common and should be rejected and denounced on principle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance"Voter fraud exists because you can't prove it doesn't."
If voter fraud was a
widespread issue, then scientific studies on the matter would show so. I just spent a few minutes going through what conservatives say is voter fraud, and not a single issue would have been resolves with voter ID. Most of them have to do with mail in ballots, where a photo ID is not required. Or instances where if it is occurring, we can prevent it using other methods which don't prevent living, actual people from voting.
My favorite part about this idea that somehow voter fraud will be what prevents some machine from stealing an election is that, for some reason, the only thing that such a political machine can't do is produce fake ID's. You know, that thing many college kids have. Give me a fucking break.
