I have a solution to voter fraud

No, there is actually a big difference.

One is that all federal voting is set up in the Constitution as a state matter. The states determine their own voting process for all federal races (although the presidential and vice presidential positions are the only elected positions that are not specifically state-based).

The intent was to prevent highly populated states from running rough-shod over sparsely populated states. People can complain "that was because of slavery," but in fact, different states continue to have different interests based on demographics and geography. A federal water management system that would benefit California, for instance, might wreak havoc on Nevada; an international agricultural agreement that might benefit New York might devastate Kansas.

So it's still important that less populous states carry weight in elections, and the Electoral College system of allowing each state to submit its choice for president is still valid.

But apportioning that vote according to the popular vote within the state would balance the rural versus urban situation as it affects that particular state.

So does the left: discontinue elections.

In Arizona I got a new license in 2006 it expires on my birthday year 2035 I will be 65 years old. I think I need to get one of those I can travel with so probably have to get a picture taken at some point.


Here in Arizona we had vote by mail with signature match since 1990's and ID required if you vote in person. Republicans never complained about it until Trump lost this year. Past years some democrats complained about it of course Republicans said there was no fraud. The fact that elections are so decentralized protects our voting system it might not be perfect but it's nearly impossible to change the results on a massive scale. That is why I knew Rudy, Powell, wood, and Trump were all full of BS when they said some kind of massive fraud.
