Are there widespread cases of fraudulent harvesting? Cases of harvesters telling people how to vote? Is there anything stopping Republicans and Libertarians from running ballot harvesting operations to turn out the vote in districts where they have popular support?

The most notable such case in recent US electoral history was North Carolina's 9th congressional district in 2018, where the fraudulent harvesting was perpetuated in favor of the Republican.

Why does there need to be empirical evidence of widespread cases of abuse before we address a measure that seems ripe for abuse? Was there widespread security breaches based on Spectre before operating system developers implemented mitigations?
