Every time we vote, there is more talk about the burned ballots, unopened chests, uncounted votes and fraud concerning votes being collected from neighboring countries posing as people from my nation.

So yeah. Doesn't really matter whether it's electronic or not.

So you mean it doesn't really matter whether we even know about the fraud happening?

Most fraud other than most primitive attempts by idiots goes unnoticed. If voter ID is not required it is not possible to prevent people who don't have right to vote from voting.

It is my personal opinion. I think it's logical that it is easier to fraudulently vote if you don't need a voter ID.

It is also logical that voter fraud isn't necessarily an outcome of having no voter ID.
