Voter fraud

California is under investigation for voter fraud but that should be the last state to rely on fraud. The state has 10 million registered democrats and 5 million registered republicans so there would be no need for fraud. The system is set up to cause concern about fraud. Every registered voter gets a ballot in the mail. They do not have voter ID and voters can return their ballot by mail, in person, put it in drop box or have a third party deliver the ballot. Ballots are sent out a month before election and this causes some concern because ballot harvesting is legal in California. Prior to 2013 a voter had to be ill or disabled for someone else to return their ballot and that person had to be a family member. After 2013 any family member could return a ballot regardless of health. In 2016 anyone could return ballots and there was no limit on how many they could return. Those who are concerned about fraud suggest that people could be contacted by ballot collectors and could then be instructed on how to fill out the ballot.
