Yeah and there's also that thing where people will abuse a system that doesn't have any checks.
Certainly we could be living in a utopia if no one ever tried to exploit the system for personal gain, but unfortunately a lot of people suck.
I've lived next to people who abused the system, all these checks don't even slow them down. They're practiced at this shit and know exactly what to say to get the maximum benefit claim. All it does is make it more difficult for honest people who aren't gaming the system.
Still cheaper.
And even after they do that, the people STILL try to put him back on the ballot
