election. Acts of
fraud tend to involve affecting vote counts to bring about a desired election outcome, whether by increasing the vote share of the favored candidate, depressing the vote share of the rival candidates, or both.Election fraud is probably as old as elections themselves. The first suspicion dates back to 471 BC in the
Athenian democracy.
Archaeologists found 190 pieces of
broken pottery used then as
ballots with only 14 different handwritings.Electoral fraud is illegal in most countries including
dictatorships likely to both control the electoral process and excuse any measures that achieve a desired result.
