This is clearly not true. Every year there are dozens of voter fraud cases with clear evidence and convictions!
Dozens! https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1325912292144373770
Dozens! https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1325912292144373770
Occasionally, there are cases in which a few hundred votes are impacted! Which could lead to THOUSANDS of votes being fradulent in a given election!
oh wait the margin of victory is in the millions
whoops....
whoops....
"Voter fraud is a myth" is the headline. "Decisive pool" is the hedge word. Voter fraud is not a myth, it happens, and ya know what? It really is an affront to the entire system and we should despise it!
But it almost certainly doesn't swing elections. https://twitter.com/GScottShand/status/1325912844605517824

Even if you assume convicted voter fraud cases only cover, say, 1% of true voter fraud, you STILL don't get to margins sufficient to be swinging any but the very narrowest of elections.
And since most convicted voter fraud cases involving more than 2 or 3 fraudulent voters actually involve LOCAL elections, for sheriff and stuff like that, I'm not sure we should assume such a low catch rate.
Folks I hate to break it to you but In a Town Near You, there's probably someone running for coroner or Soil and Water District Conservator against a hated former boss and they did a dozen or two dozen fake absentee ballots for themselves.
This is on the one hand A VERY REAL PROBLEM. And on the other hand more a problem of "Your school board is basically a corruption racket" than "The Chinese are stealing the Presidency"
Now, there's also certainly cases of people voting fraudulently. I personally know of someone who voted (a while back, not this election) in one state under her maiden name and another under her married name.
It was a decade ago. She was never caught.
That's a crime and she shouldn't have done it. Awful thing to do! Didn't move an election and like 99.99% of people in that situation don't do that.

Now look, I'm from Kentucky. So of course I know people who got paid to vote or voted twice or something like that. Kentucky is extraordinarily corrupt! You can use Google and routinely find significant convictions for vote-fraud rings! People bribe county clerks y'all!

To those who think by saying "Dozens" I am defending the concerns about widespread voter fraud...
