Virginia Man Sent to Jail for Registering Dead Individuals to Vote for Democrats in 2016
Congratulations, you found one kid not even out of school committing voter registration fraud. How many fraudulent votes were cast? Zero.
You know what's a bigger number than zero? 6.1 million. That's the lower-bound of living American citizens the GOP purged from the voting register for purely political reasons. So I'll give you a reduction of zero Democrat votes for an increase of 5.9 million Democrat votes and 0.2 million Republican votes. That will even things up.
Better yet, let's make voting compulsory for citizens over 18 and available at work. Then the GOP won't win any elections.

By the way, the Virginia man was sent to fail for 4 months. By that standard, the entire GOP from 2000 should be sentenced to 400 years in prison for the voter fraud they committed in that election.

All those idiots complaining about in-person voter fraud would really be complaining about gerrymandering if they cared about election integrity.
Gerrymandering can be very easily fixed. Get rid of voting districts. They serve no legitimate purpose.
Simply create a number, N, of representatives for each state, either a fixed number like 10 or a variable number based on the state's population. Then let all people rank their first three choices from the pool of candidates within the state. Give one point for each first choice, 0.5 points for each second point, and 0.25 points for each third choice. All up each candidate's points and select the top N candidates. These are the representatives elected. Their voting power equals the number of points they have. This fixes gerrymandering and asymmetric population densities. Everyone gets an equal voice under this system and the idiot politicians no longer have the power to rig the system.
Finally, everyone who engaged in gerrymandering for any reason should be retroactively prosecuted and sentence for tampering with elections.
