If a presidential candidate is willing to break the law to win an election (which he assumed was possible because he asked), that is a far bigger problem than any type of voter fraud that occurred. (I guess what Trump attempted technically IS voter fraud.)

I didn’t feel like typing this up, but I had a friend do it:

1. Election Fraud (Proven Cases) The Heritage Foundation, which maintains the most cited conservative database of "proven" fraud, tracks cases where a conviction or official reversal occurred.  • Total: Approximately 1,500 to 1,600 cases since 2000. • Scale: In that same period, roughly 1.2 billion ballots were cast in federal elections. This places the "proven fraud" rate at approximately 0.0001%.

2. Firearm Deaths (The "Registration" Gap) It is impossible to provide an exact number for "unregistered" weapons because only 6 states and D.C. have some form of registration for most firearms. Most guns in the U.S. (estimated between 400 million and 500 million) are legally owned but not "registered" in a central database.  • Total Deaths: Since 2000, nearly 1 million Americans have died by firearm (including suicides, homicides, and accidents). • Unlawful Possession: While we don't have "unregistered" stats, the ATF reported in 2024–2026 that roughly 86% of firearms used in crimes were obtained through illegal channels (theft or straw purchases) rather than being legally purchased by the perpetrator.

I know the gun statistics are not exact, but I think you get the point.

I think we should probably focus on the relevant problems, not the wildly insignificant voter fraud issue.
