Editorial Internet Voter fraud not a threat to democracy Threats to a country — or any- thing, for that matter — can come from outside, by malicious people acting on that country like terrorists, foreign hackers or an invading army, or they can come from inside, either from saboteurs or weaknesses in the system’s institutions. Since internal threats are often more difficult to distinguish or perceive, they can be among the most dangerous. One potentially dire threat to an elected government such as our own is voter fraud. It doesn’t happen very often, and there is little reason to suspect that it is a wide- spread problem.
