To The Conservative Tejano:
Absolutely right. Every state. Every single one.
What most people fail to realize is that most fabricated votes are votes on registrations that were once legitimate, or could even have been legitimate today, but weren’t because of dual voting.
Let’s say you live in Chicago and own a hunting cottage in Wisconsin or a summer cottage in Michigan. By owning two addresses, you may have a right (depending on how much time you spend at each) to vote from either of them, you just have to make a choice. So you’ve registered at each. Maybe during the pandemic you spent more time at the Wisconsin house so that’s the place it would be legit to vote from.
But because they are all on the registration rolls, you may get mailed a ballot now for each one, and you or someone in your family will vote all three ballots. Or you may only vote from one, but the precinct captain at the others will notice an unvoted name on his list at 10pm, and cast a vote for that name as he pads his count for the night before reporting it.
A normal recount or audit would find that these are all “legitimate registrations” and would not count them out as crooked votes. They all look fine on their face.
I mention this to support your point that we need to look at every state. Nobody thinks of upstate Wisconsin or the western mitten as being hotbeds of vote fraud, but in my example, these do occur.
And in fact, we know this happens all the time. In a study
i recall from about a decade ago, something like 20 thousand dual registrations were found just between Maryland and Florida. Put all the different potential pairings together, and there are millions and millions of such apparently legit dual registrations across the country... are they all mined for those fake additional votes? Of course not. But many are. How many? No way to tell until a truly intense investigation is done... or until we tighten the rules so these tactics can’t be employed.
The most common opportunity I think of is the story of the college student. My wife and I have three kids. Between them, just my three kids have had seventeen different legitimate voting registrations over the past ten years. They’re honest kids. I’m positive they only vote once per election (if that)... but the odds being what they are, I’m positive that some crooks are taking advantage of at least a couple of those inactive registrations to cast crooked ballots every cycle.
