FRAUD IS VERY HARD TO DETECT AND HARDER TO PROVE BUT THE NUMBERS INCLUDE ONLY PROVEN CASES SO ACTUAL CASES ARE MUCH HIGHER

When they say the voter fraud numbers are 0.00004%, they are talking only about convictions.
Seriously. There’s about 1.4M burglaries per year. Burglary conviction rate is about 14%. Imagine saying the 1.2M burglaries that we didn’t get convictions for, didn’t happen.

The thing that makes voter fraud different from burglary is that we usually know if someone has been burgled; we usually *do not* know if a vote is fraudulent.
The use of the numbers assumes that voter fraud we do not know about, or did not convict for, did not happen.

If my ballot is mailed & never arrives, it is not counted as fraud. Say we catch the guy who stole my ballot, and he is arrested. Also not counted. Only after he is convicted, is it counted: and probably only counted once, even if he stole multiple ballots.
What makes the problem worse is that voter fraud in many states is actually easy, and hard to detect. Stealing ballots from mailboxes; preventing a family member from sending their ballot (hiding it, taking it, threatening them, bribing them); registering folks who do not exist…
And in person, without ID, it is trivial to vote as someone else. It is EASY.
To assume that easy things are not happening is to just put your head in the sand. No serious security team would ever accept that risk and make that assumption.
But we do for voting. Weird, right?
