People complaining about voter fraud shouldn't be taken seriously. If you cared about the integrity of US elections, voter fraud isn't where you'd start. It's a fraction of a percent compared to the election rigging that happens in the open.

Campaign finance makes a mockery of the campaign process. Voter id laws disenfranchise more people than fraudulently vote. Gerrymandering creates unfair advantages with malicious boundaries. Regular closing of the polls disenfranchises more people than vote fraudulently.

Voter fraud might be a problem, but it's minuscule compared to fraud of the elections themselves.
