Because voter fraud is exceedingly rare in the US. Now election fraud is a different issue.

There have been lots of reports of non-citizens being registered to vote in the US. It is very rare, but elections are also generally very close races.
I dont get how people can just shrug off reports of dead people and non-citizens being registered to vote as a non-issue.

Registration errors are not voting errors.
How many of those dogs registered to vote showed up and cast a ballot?

If anyone actually cares enough to have a mostly accurate cost effective voter registration database, they'd reuse any one of our existing national demographic databases. But they don't. Because the recurring drama caused by our existing fragmented poorly funded more error prone system is too useful.

Perhaps the reports are false?

Yeah I'm sure all of them are false, and our voter registration systems with practically zero layers of authentication have proven to be infallible over the years.
