[EL] Voter Fraud

[gabe]

Presuming that you are being generous to the nature debate by presuming that it has two sides and is thus worthy of the term, I believe that you will find the Brennan Center’s work on noncitizen voting useful (http://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/alleged-voting-noncitizens <http://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/alleged-voting-noncitizens>). Their most comprehensive works is from 2007, so there are more current statistics.  For example, the Washington Post public a piece by  [then Prof.] Levitt fining,
	" 31 incidents [of in-person voter fraud]  come in the context of general, primary, special, and municipal elections from 2000 through 2014. In general and primary elections alone, more than 1 billion ballots <http://www.fec.gov/general/library.shtml> were cast in that period.” 
Justin Levitt, Wonkblog, "A comprehensive investigation of voter impersonation finds 31 credible incidents out of one billion ballots cast” Washington Post, Aug. 6, 2014.

I have some articles arguing that it exists, in great enough/outcome-determinative enough numbers to warrant photo ID laws, aggressive purging of voter rolls, etc.  I assume there are also articles making the empirical case that fraudulent voting by noncitizens, and other types of in-person voter fraud, occur rarely.
