Assume the possibility of the head of an elections office participating in election fraud. Are you then expecting the head of the elections office to report their own fraud? It's almost illogical to me to doubt that this happens, it's just a matter of how severely. Any system involving thousands of people handling valuable material in is going to experience this in some form, but how do you know it's happening if it's the people in charge doing it? Would you not believe that tax fraud was a thing without someone to tell you that it is? I'm not saying that the case in Broward is clearly election fraud, but you'd have to be a little naive to not think it happens.

I don't think we are talking about the same issue. My complaint is the reports on "voter fraud". Claims of hundreds of dead people voting, illegal immigrants voting, people voting more than once by going to their car and putting on a hat. Most of these claims have never really had anything to suggest even truth. These are issues to which the solution isn't setting up better systems for accountability with election officials, but restricting the right to vote through various means (ex. voter id laws)... Which is what I have a problem with.
