Some discount the possibility of voter fraud because they are shocked that someone would brazenly break the law and risk jail over an election.  We’ve heard voter fraud deniers claim that voter impersonation is a dumb way to try to steal an election and the chances of getting caught make it particularly dumb.

What these deniers do is discount the criminal mind.  Because the deniers are law abiding, they think everyone else is a rational law abiding citizen.  Evil or wrongdoing are unfamiliar behaviors. 

But here is yet another example of election fraudsters making irrational, illegal and easy to catch decisions, this time in Alameda County where a candidate filed papers with a phony address of residence.
