Voter fraud is “highly unusual,” National Association of Secretaries of State president Denise Merrill tells the PEW Charitable Trust in a Q&A that also covers Voter ID, long lines at polling places, chances for online voting (“We’re not there yet”), the role of the federal government in the highly decentralized U.S. election system and the possibility of hacking(“impossible”). What’s the biggest “problem” election administrators face? To Merrill the “biggest problem” is “When a voter gets to the front of the line and says, ‘My name is Mary Smith, and I’m supposed to be on the list,’ and she’s not on the list.”
