The attack vector for voter fraud is obvious but not really scalable. Ballot fraud is a bit more scalable because you could request absentee ballots on other people’s behalf - signatures aren’t a huge deal b/c even w/ a 50% success rate you are achieving your objectives. All of that said, fraud is simply not very prevalent in either case.

At a 50% success rate you go away to federal jail for a couple of years. How many people are willing to throw away their lives for a few extra votes? That doesn't make sense to me.
