Actually, individual voter fraud in the USA is nearly nonexistent, while voter suppression and voter fraud by powerful political/special interest groups has been in ongoing issue throughout our nation's history. The "smoke and mirror" shenanigans here are really the political/special interest groups persuading voters to focus on the nearly non-existent issues related to individual voter fraud while they then seek to manipulate the vote.
Go look at the stats - it's quite interesting to see what is proven vs what the perception is when it comes to voting fraud. One group that studies such issues and is a good source for information vs supposition is the NYU School of Law's Brennan Center For Justice. http://www.brennancenter.org/analysi...-studies-issue
