They might even have to prevent anyone else from registering at their old address to prevent any raised flags.

I came across the following that might explain the difficulty of perpetuating voter fraud on a national level.

That is where the system appears to be the most resistant to fraud, as you cannot subvert a single entity. With the multiple votes this does not improve the resistance of the system, but decreases it.
