Alex Halderman: we will never know if the Wisconsin vote was hacked unless we check now

“Vote Fraud” is not the same thing as “In Person Voter Fraud”

I suspect you already know this, but I’ll have a go anyway. In person voter fraud is when a person actually shows up at the polls and casts a fraudulent vote. It is the thing that voter ID laws are ostensibly meant to prevent, and it basically never happens, because it is difficult and risky.

Voter fraud, more generally, can include things like mail-in vote fraud, or tampering with voting machines. Voter ID is not related to and cannot affect these kinds of fraud.
