But very little of that fraud ends up with counted ballots. The more prevalent and effective means of fraud are getting people not to vote. Things like calls with the wrong date, phony mailers, running fake third-party candidates, etc. happen much more often than voter fraud. There's rarely a penalty for the former, but the latter can send you to jail for years.
