If I go in and vote as you, without an ID, I have to sign a sworn affidavit, or fill out a provisional ballot. Some states will ask me for a utility bill, or for the voter information guide I received in the mail. People have been caught doing your hypothetical situation according to the link you provided, which again shows that the system works: https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/...aud_type=24493

I'm not going to go back and fourth because you will never change your mind and I have yet to ever see someone on social media say, "Wow, you're so right!" I never disagreed that voter fraud exists, but for a country that reveres itself on democracy and duly elected officials, we really make poor people work harder to make their ballots count. Side note, I registered to vote in my state online, got my ballot in the mail, and dropped it off at the dropbox. Didn't show my ID to a single person, but my signature will be verified that is on the ballot, and I can see the progress of my ballot online. If it gets bounced, I have to request a new ballot, or vote in person. There is a system in place, and your link shows that people who try to cheat get caught and pay fines and sentences.

There were 62 cases in 2016 but, eh no biggie. Most of the convictions involved fraudulent absentee ballots and duplicate voting. These are the ones who got caught. We have no statistics on the numbers of people who cast illegitimate votes and get away with it.
