This is about our political process, defined by the Constitution of the United States with a preamble
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Please read this twice (or more). Pay particular attention to the concepts enumerated within the parentheses.
With that in mind, let's discuss voter fraud.
You first.

The Brennan Center’s seminal report on this issue.
The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud, and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. Given this tiny incident rate for voter impersonation fraud, it is more likely, the report noted, that an American “will be struck by lightning than that he/she will impersonate another voter at the polls.”
