Sorry folks there is disability fraud

34. No one is arguing in favor of fraud

But you have not made out a cost/benefit case.

Let's look at a handy example.

Do you want non-citizens to be able to vote in US elections, or for people to register to vote multiple times in order to stuff ballot boxes?

Well, no, nobody wants that.

But that does not mean that additional "safeguards against voter fraud" have a desirable effect.

For example, in Texas, it is readily demonstrable that there are more eligible voters being disqualified by the various hoops and obstacles established by preventive measures against "voter fraud" than there have ever been instances of actual voter fraud.

That's called - Doing More Harm Than Good.

So, what would you like to do about fraud, and what is your estimate of the number of good faith applicants who will be denied, delayed or refused by the increased burden of qualifying over your anti-fraud measure.

Absent any quantitative analysis, what is it you would like to do?

You can do more harm than good by trying to be 100% fraud free - because that condition practically REQUIRES that an errors in the system will be on the side of disqualifying people who are not engaging in fraud.
