Sounds like we need that ID even more then, with all our bills going
paperless.

You seem to be confused. A bill isn't *required* to vote. There are other options, including a state-issued photo ID, if one has one. Different people may be in different situations.

You look at it like:

Number of people caught = Number of people who do it (or close enough)

I look at it like I look at several other offenses, where the number of
people caught = only the number of people caught. There are many speeders
who never get caught.

The lieutenant governor of Texas has offered a bounty of up to $1 million for information leading to the conviction of vote fraudsters in any state. He's only had one taker, from Pennsylvania. Sounds like easy money, if the problem is as widespread as you seem to think it is.

The first I have heard of that is here. I wonder how many others have
missed it, or realize that it means "in any state"?

One thing I question about it... whose money is he using? I would not
think it would be legal to use state tax money to pay a bounty outside of the state, unless it involved fraud within the state.

It's been in the news, not so much recently as when he first introduced it.
The guy from Pennsylvania certainly knew about it, and that tips from/about
any state would be rewarded.

of the state, unless it involved fraud within the state.

Apparently it comes from his campaign account. I'm not sure how legal that
is, either. At any rate, despite offering "up to $1 million" he seems to be quite stingy with it. The fellow from Pennsylvania only got $25K.

$25K might be worth it if you did not have to do too much legwork to put together what, to him, would be $25K worth of proof. OTOH, if I learned he only gave out $25K to the first person who showed proof and also learned
that it took that person a lot of time/money, I might decide that dealing
with the stingy Texan is not worth my investment. :)

I suspect that the lowballed reward had more to do with the fraudster being a registered Republican, and I suspect that the bounty on Democrats would be
much higher, if only there were any.
