We often note that in-person voter fraud in the United States is so rare as to be nearly nonexistent. In Union County, the other county Harris won, votes for Harris and McCready were both above the average across the eight counties. In Bladen, Harris won by 24 points. Perhaps the most important differentiator here, though, is that mail-in voter fraud — unlike in-person fraud — is actually something that experts worry about. Most voter fraud laws target voter impersonation at the polls -- the idea that people show up to cast a ballot in person and must therefore confirm their identities.
