It's been found in multiple studies run by both Republican and Democrat leaning institutions that intentional voter fraud is exceedingly rare. Very few people are stupid enough to risk prison time to get a particular candidate elected. It's a complete nonissue.
Extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare. Yet repeated, false allegations of fraud can make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to participate in elections.

How many Republicans will get caught committing voter fraud before the GOP stops pointing fingers?

Nice thought, but I’d take it with a big grain of salt seeing as how being in this country illegally is also a crime that our current government turns a blind eye to because our broken
economic policy *depends* on it, and further supports with taxpayer money.
It’s impractical and unsustainable for it to be the U.S.’s responsibility to take care of everyone who decides to come herewhen we can’t even take care of our own citizens. We’ve learned nothing from what’s happened in many European countries over the last decade, and there’s only so much the media can spin or sweep so much under the rug before they have to start admitting it’s a problem.

Sorry dude but you asked for this, so what’s your plan to fix it?

I am sorry but as a refugee myself i want to say that there should be no room for illegally crossing borders at all. In my case my parents applied from third country and waited for processing by Canada; USA and Australia. That included two interviews in the respective embassies and yes a health exam. It took almost a year. But that was the process and we were happy to do our small little part by following the process. Illegitimate/illegal border crossings bump legitimate asylum seekers who play by the rules down the processing que just because some people feel they are not going to play by the rules. Coming to Canada or any other country you may seek asylum in is a privilege not a right some people seem to think it is. Play by the rules, wait your turn, and yes that means being accepted or rejected based on the assessment of your specific case. Accepting those that keep violating rules and look for shortcuts literally teaches everyone else bad habits, because why would you play by the rules if that results in you being ignored and overlooked while illegal migrants get rewarded? On top of it. this fuels the human trafficking business. It makes no sense whatsoever on any humanitarian grounds to keep doing the same thing and expect different result. That is a definition of insanity
.
I’m well aware the U.S.’s own history makes it somewhat hypocritical, seeing as we originally came here to escape religious persecution, then proceeded to steel native land, subjugating them to horrible conditions, etc. but ask people today how much they’d generally be willing to accept somehow reverting society back to another’s terms and we’d have our answer as to why the ball keeps rolling along collecting shit.
Whatever “advanced” intelligence human beings possess sure has created its fair share of other problems.
