  1. It's certainly possible that voter fraud could decide an election if the vote tally was very, very close. The fraud would include not only people who vote without being registered, but also people who vote under a deceased person's name, people who vote more than once, in one or more states. From what I've read, though, if an election result is particularly close, there is an automatic recount, which I would hope would include checking ballots and registrations for legality. Fraud could be cut way down just by requiring voter ID/photo ID, which most people have or can easily and cheaply get. It's logical to expect American elections to be decided by American citizens.
