Voter Fraud

You wouldn't think this would be an issue here in the USA, but unfortunately it is. There are so many states with investigations going on right now it's ridiculous and it should concern everyone regardless of what party or candidate you support.

We keep hearing stories of quotas for registrations and people being paid based on those quotas. Does anyone else see a problem here? People say that registration fraud isn't the same as voter fraud and it isn't something to worry that much about. With the rise of identity theft, it is easy to create identities so that false registrations can turn into false votes.

Here's a simple solution to part of the problem. Pass a federal electoral registration law that makes registration processes uniform across the country. Make registration quotas illegal. Make it illegal to pay someone for collecting any registration that has not been verified. Quotas shouldn't be necessary because what does it matter if someone collects one or one hundred registrations? You can have as many people as you want encouraging registration, and if you are only paying for verified registrations, you eliminate the pressure and temptation to get creative with your numbers.

Sure there need to be other safeguards, but this alone would greatly reduce the problem we are facing around the country right now. It isn't rocket science!
