[QUOTE=spazattak] I think we can concede now that it happens, wether accidental or not. The next step is to demonstrate that is sufficiently prevelant to change the outcome of an election. [/QUOTE] Why is that the next step? The question is not, “Has it changed an election?” The question is: “Could it change an election?” When Florida 2000 was a matter of less than a 1,000 vote-margin, we can certainly concede that it’s possible a future state may also be decided by such a razor-thin margin. If that happens, then we can certainly imagine that fraudulent votes affected the results, and work NOW to solve the problem. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-on-lets-have-some-proof-already-that-false-voters-really-are-a-problem/374125)._
