Would the USA be better today if we had just let the South secede?

60. There is election fraud too....

..... This is where the administrators of the election do something unscrupulous to rig an election for their preferred candidate that forces the other candidate to lose. They try to make the election look legitimate but an audit, if it can be done, would likely prove otherwise.

As you say, voter fraud is another example of election tampering. This is perpetrated when the voter by one means or the other casts a ballot or multiple ballots but lacked the legal right do do so.

Voter fraud is very rare. But voter fraud has become a hot button issue with Republicans because if they falsely contend voter fraud is rampant, this give them license to formulate voter suppression efforts under the guise they are instituting voter fraud protections.

But in reality they are ramping up voter suppression and schemes of voter disenfranchisement because that is their real goal - there was no voter fraud occurring initially.

They use voter fraud as a convenient excuse to block voters from the opposing political party and deny them the ability to cast their ballot in very conniving and unscrupulous methods.
