N != 0, it’s less than 1/10^8 over multiple cycles. Which means zero examples in modern America of a national election being stolen through fraud.
> Blind faith
To the degree there is blind faith in this discussion it’s from the election deniers. Polls are heavily scrutinised by not only multiple layers of government, but also various outside groups, including the campaigns, as well as international bodies. One has to assume widespread conspiracy across those groups—and then be too lazy to observe a poll oneself—to conclude fraud. Not only forward looking, but worse, backward looking given the millions of dollars spent on hand recounting ballots in e.g. Arizona.
> Voter ID now
I vote in a state with a voter ID requirement. Maybe those who think these laws do something didn’t go to college. I can’t think of any other reason for the widespread amnesia around the prevalence and accessibility of fake IDs. (And you could vote with a cheap one, too. Nobody checks if they scan.)
> Closed borders now. Deportation for illegal immigrants now
About as relevant to election security as abortion and speed limits.
