"the first step to fraudulent voting is lots of fake registration" You wingnuts are already framing and excuse for losing, other than your wacky ideology and policies and totally hateful campaign. It's obvious you dudes have a lot further to fall.

"and send others to vote under those names, and the names of the dead, Mickey Mouse, Football teams, store names, brand names, etc." How many of those wind up with valid registrations? In Texas, they mail your registration to you. Naturally, mailing hundreds of registrations to the same address is going to raise flags. I don't know the policy about PO boxes, so i suppose they could have a bunch of PO boxes. But then the issue of cost comes up. Renting hundreds, thousands or more boxes is going to cost. So actually acquiring enough fraudulent registrations to make a difference becomes real expensive, real quick. But, ok. Say the registrations are acquired. How to vote them? The number of people who are willing to risk a felony for the chance of voting two or more times I suspect is rather small. Might not be with Republicans, though. Felonious behavior doesn't appear to be a huge obstacle. Because the more times they vote, the higher the odds they will be caught. I suppose you can have a large group, but why go through the risk and just pay them to vote your way, any way? of course, you would have no proof that they aren't just taking your money and voting for whoever they want anyway... That is the problem with conspiracy theories. There are all kinds of holes to account for.
