People around the media and country are saying that voter fraud does not exist. Well, here is one case in point, and this is just ONE spot in the country. North Carolina, last election cycle, had many cases of voter fraud including people who voted in two states. Here's the article - and common sense voter identification laws are needed to protect the integrity of the process.
So that's 33 cases. So who are they rigging for? So there's one Republican... Authorities said Curgil was hired as a canvasser to register voters for People United For Medical Marijuana. And one... gonna say Democrat. That didn't actually vote. Just registered voters. For money.Coincidentally, the incidents highlight repeated claims from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of “election rigging” by his opponents and the media. Though, from the billion votes cast since the 2000 election, only 31 cases of voter fraud have been documented, a report from The Washington Post discovered, showing smaller, isolated pockets of election abuse, rather than systemic or widespread rigging.
Coego’s arrest comes a day after Regalado, a Republican, filed suit against Republican incumbent Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, attempting to disqualify him under an election payment technicality.
In a second arrest, police said Tomika Curgil, 33, filled out voter-registration forms for five citizens without their consent and submitted at least 17 forms for people believed to not exist, including several who are dead.

"The polls are rigged."An Iowa woman was charged Friday with election misconduct for allegedly voting twice for Donald Trump because she feared her first vote would be changed to one for Hillary Clinton.
I don't think the argument is whether or not it exists. I think the argument is that the amount and frequency of it is so small that it's pretty much a non-issue. The penalty for voting fraud is so high it makes the payoff nowhere near worth the risk of getting caught, so most people won't even attempt it. As a result, the actual cases of voter fraud in the past decade number into the tens. Voter disenfranchisement on the other hand, affects tens of thousands of people every year and it's often done at an institutional level, which is why that probably tends to get much more media attention.
