I managed a polling site in an urban county for the County Clerk. The only reason I know that at least one legal resident, but non-citizen, voted illegally, was because he asked for a new ballot after mismarking the one he was given.
The reason this man asked for a new ballot, is because, as he told the poll worker, "he was only allowed to vote in Federal races, and he had accidently voted in the other ones." This was his honest belief, I felt sad on numerous levels. I referred this to our District Attorney, but I never did follow up what happened.
Side note, if you ever want to lose faith in democracy, volunteer as a poll worker.

My grandmother before she passed from the Vax, voted in many elections. She was entirely senile and didn't even know where she was. My uncle filled out all the ballots because my mom outright refused. Straight democrat, of course. Though when she was with it, I'm pretty sure she voted dem. Still, we were disgusted.
I only recently started voting again after running for office in 2002 (so much corruption that I refused to continue voting and that was local). My bf talked me into it and of course our first election was the Kari Lake debacle. Just as corrupt as ever.
Did you see how in WI, the official investigation into the 2020 election showed how nursing home patients, in the condition of your grandmother, were recorded as voting. Family members when they found out about it during the investigation were shocked and wondered who was perpetrating the fraud. Of course, zero arrests.
I only vote in the general election because it makes it harder for them to cheat, or in a local mayoral election where the parties are not involved. I have very little faith that we have anything approaching a clean system where the will of the voters is actually represented in at the very least, candidate selection.
Yep! I'm sure the nursing home fraud is wide-spread.
I've given up and just vote, now, even though I know it's meaningless. We'll see where our most recent local election goes. The results should be in shortly. We were to vote on whether the mayor's developer friend gets money, land, and rezoning for an "entertainment district" that none of us want. Man, the way they spun that on the signs around town was crazy.
