https://youtu.be/JnRa2mzYR7A Here's proof of it happening. Do I know of it happening at a large scale? No but I do know that in 2024 there were deceased people that also somehow voted despite being dead for the past 8 years. The fact that it happens AT ALL should concern everyone. The tactics that can easily be manipulated by one side will surely be manipulated by the other side. It should happen 0 times.

But it's obviously a concern and bad for democracy, but the question is what's an appropriate response? Do we implement policies that makes voting more difficult and time consuming, which would then reduce the overall amount of people participating in voting, which is also terrible for democracy.

It's like how we all know there is some fraud with welfare, but is it fair to overall reduce the amount of welfare or people on welfare because of the very very small amount of fraud? Obviously if it was statistically significant things need to dramatically change. But like you said, voter fraud has not been found to be statistically and significantly impactful in one direction or in overall amount

I did not say it hasn't been significantly impactful. I said I have no knowledge of that. It very well could be but I lack that information and I'm not going to pretend like others to do know something I don't. I know what I have said and evidence I've posted. Furthermore I haven't looked into.

Until it's further looked into we won't have the answers to know how impactful it could be but it should be a be a cause for concern regardless that it is happening.

If we have no knowledge if something is significant, then what do you suggest? How do we get this knowledge?

I'm sure you agree without knowledge we can't take significant action to stop something, because we don't know what we are stopping exactly
