#2 ...I'm sorry, but this is unpossible as I have been assured by All The Best People(TM) that this doesn't happen.

#3 Detroit, like a lot of places, does not clean up their voter registration rolls very often. People die, people move out, and they stay registered. The only problem is if those people vote, and we don't know how often that happens.

#5 we don't know how often that happens.

No, though we do know that it does happen. There are also other ways to cheat — a person voting in two states, people voting as ordered (Mr. Wife’s father told him that as long as he lived in Lackawanna, NY he would vote, and would vote Democrat, or there would be repercussions for various relatives working for the city), people voting others’ ballots by mail or in person by a variety of methods, voting machines only accepting certain votes for whatever reason...

Cleaning up the voter rolls of dead, moved, multiply registered, and imaginary voters is the easiest way to start getting a handle on a problem that, given human nature, is only partly soluble.

Snopes, with all its problems, does its best to address a report from 2017 in the National Review that there are over 3.5 million more voter registrations than adult citizens in the 38 states that they looked at. That number compares to the 2.9 popular votes that Hillary Clinton had more than Donald Trump in 2016, 4.3 million of them from California. It would be interesting to know how many of those votes were not legitimate

#6 Or you could flush *all* the voter rolls and simply require everyone to re-register, in person, with picture proof of citizenship. And require re-registration every 4 years.
