  1. Styx, saying voter fraud couldn't "flip" a presidential election betrays a tacit agreement with the position that there is no (significant?) voter fraud issue, since "flip" denotes "sudden reversal". It is this "suddenness" that implies an unusual increase/decrease (of voter fraud), when, IMO, voter fraud due to illegal immigrants has been going on for decades, always on a gradual increase--too gradual to show on the radars of most analysts. It seems all the dems have to do is take the coastal states where the vast majority of people live, and they'll have the electoral votes necessary. The number of electoral votes (=the number of Congressional representatives) allotted to a given state is determined directly from that state's population: the more people you have, the more electoral votes you have. It's a state-wide total vote enumeration for president that determines the vote of (traditionally) ALL that state's electors. So, it's true that the influence of one group in one small area of the state would be diminished somewhat by being included in the group of all voters in that state. I don't think this influence should be dismissed as negligible--it spreads by contact between elections, engendering curious "sympathies", a sort of cloud of political contagion.
