With some precincts that have barely %30 turnout, you have a %70 chance of committing fraud and none would be the wiser. If you were smart, you could target people in certain demographics and greatly increase those odds (trolling obits would allow you to cast potentially hundreds of votes per station) . Whatever fraud is exposed would be minimal and dismissed as such.

One problem I see with this, is that in order to pull this off, you have to know for a fact that the person hasn't already voted, because you're busted if you identify yourself as someone who has already voted. Also, you would have to know enough about the person to know which precinct they vote in. It would probaly take some collaboration from the election workers so that you aren't just calling out random names.

All you have to know is their address which is easy to look up. Going through the obituaries pretty much assures you that their vote isnt going to be cast before hand. If you want more info on how to pull it off, ask Mary Landrieu.

If you can read upside down or sideways quickly, It's not hard to call out a name of someone that hasn't voted yet. When I walk up to vote, the book is open to the page that the last person signed. All I would have to do is pick a name that doesn't have a signature next to it and say that's my name.
