Well in Australia, there's plenty of "vote early, vote often fraud" - they ask you to show some kind of ID, and they cross your name off the roll. Trouble is they don't communicate between polling stations, so you can vote at multiple polling stations in each election. Also, since it doesn't have to be photo ID (it can be an expired credit card, a paper voter registration card, etc.) you end up with plenty of people voting for dead people. Dead people often get recorded as voting at multiple polling stations. They don't really want to do much about it and hope that it benefits all parties roughly proportionally.
