11/28 Hypothetical motd poll, which of the following is the worst
100 fraudulently cast ballots:
100 people not allowed to vote:
Both are equally bad:
\_ Hi ilyas!
\_ Hahaha. No.
\_ 100 morons voting legitimately. -John
\_ Whichever one is more likely to change the outcome. This would
probably be the 100 fake votes, because they'd all go one way, while
the disenfranchised would have voted like individuals.
\_ On what do you base your assertion that the fake votes would all
go one way? In any system where fraud is possible, wouldn't there
be an equal temptation from both sides to engage in it?
\_ Temptation, yes. Opportunity, no.
\_ There's a pretty good book on election shennanigans. "Stealing
Elections" by John Fund. It's very non-partisan, has a lot of
stories of voter fraud and such from both parties. |
