ya know, after working on get out hte vote campaigns and helping at the polls, if anyone really wanted to commit fraud, it really wouldn't be hard. just have one of 'your people' working at the polling area. in my neighborhood, there were 2 people confirming names, one for letters a-m and then n-z...and they were people known in the neighborhood. They were using paper printouts and pencils to mark the people off as they came in to get ballots and vote. it really would not take much effort to conveniently not mark someone...repeatedly.. my area also barely keeps up with how many votes are cast vs how many people are crossed off the list.
The sad part is that my town is about 50,000 people with several polling stations. get enough people in enough small towns and bammo, you've just won an election..
