U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been seizing an increasing number of fake IDs, including drivers licenses, in recent years. Most come from China and are good enough to fool an average person, an agency official said.

Non-existent people that are registered to vote now have ID to vote. Can vote many times as many non-existent people or even people that haven’t voted in years that has been faked registered and the replacement voter now has a fake ID of that person.
These fake IDs have been around forever. Nowadays they can be ordered over the internet from overseas, amd the quality is excellent. They’re put to the usual uses — underage drinking, driving, etc.
Massive numbers of fake IDs.
Defunding cops.
Mail in ballot fraud.
Mobs of violent protesters.
NOT a coincidence.
