What happens when the demand for voter fraud greatly exceeds the supply?

Here's what a search came up with for the 2016 election - seems a bit light. This election would certainly have some suspect votes. One of the predictable things is that when people can vote early, is that they can pass away prior to the date of the election. Not 3,000 of them - but some number. I wouldn't call that fraud but state election law should address whether the vote is considered or not. It will take a bit more time for states to review, recount, reassess - and then certify their election results. I hope things can calm down a bit. It's been a wee bit too crazy so far.

I’m sure the words “up to” are doing yeoman’s work in that offer.

I didn’t say it’s not ok. My point was about how scarce evidence for fraud combined with exceptional demand has driven up its price.
Econ 101, man.

Depends on your intended target.
Years back, I knew a bagman who had worked for the Long Machine. His job was to pass out the cash or whatever it took to buy votes. His best purchase was an entire family for a pair of rubber boots.
Or, you can just by wholesale. A common tactic is to bring a paper bag with small denomination bills to a black pastor and have him lead his flock to the correct voting conclusions.
Of course it's about economics...

It has been suggested that the intended goal of the litigation and public pressure is to try and ensure that no candidate reachers 270 electoral votes. In that instance, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote and it is up to the individual States to determine how to vote. Since there are more Republican states than Democrat, some surmise this is a strategy for assuring a DJT second term.

It's been suggested, but I don't think that's a goal...

What an interesting question. What do you think?
I think if you vote early and then pass away ythe vote should stand. To try to check every vote against the death rolls would be burdensome when the volume should be minimal. It should be easier to take a look at the improbably old voters. It would also be easier if voter rolls were properly maintained.

A letter sent Nov. 5 on behalf of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign to Attorney General William Barr alleges that 3,062 voters who do not live in the state of Nevada "improperly cast" absentee ballots in the 2020 election.But the list that accompanies the letter of those accused of "criminal voter fraud" contains hundreds of overseas military post office boxes and more than 1,000 locations where military personnel are stationed, such as Minot, North Dakota; Edwards and Fort Irwin, California; Hill Air Force Base, Utah; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; and Yuma, Arizona.
