It might be voter intimidation, but it may be valid. I don't know. People should not be voting 15 times a day. Voting needs to be truthful and fair. Period. Dead people should not be voting.

Voter fraud does exist. It may be rare, but it exists. I've heard stories of dead people voting. It was on the news. You still shouldn't vote 15 times. Come on, bro.

Well you are correct in that there is a massive epidemic of dead people voting in modern elections, although not perhaps in the sense in which you intended.

This huge problem exists because of early voting, absentee voting, and vote-by-mail systems, whereby individuals cast their ballots, and then have the unintentional misfortune of becoming deceased prior to election day.

I suspect that this phenomenon likely impacts both parties relatively equally, although perhaps gives the Republicans a slight edge in elections where they are winning large chunks of the 65+ vote.

Now, I would say that we can't really consider this voter fraud, since possibly outside a small handful of isolated incidents, it is extremely unlikely that an individual deliberately intends to be deceased prior to election day.
