Are there no attempts made to investigate the impact of vote trafficking?

I'm not OP, but I wanted to put in my two cents here too since you got so many downvotes.

Being more lenient on crime for the sake of circumstances of reforming the criminal, progressive ideas, anarchy, etc. are left-wing views and it goes back to older times as well. It's not just OP's made up premise.

I've read literature that seems to indicate as such. A lot of left wing or liberal views are in classical novels and I related with them in my youth.

I've also heard people who studied rome claim that ancient romans held political stances that would match today's left-wing and right-wing politics pretty closely so yes, usually being more strict on law and order is generally a more right-wing leaning view.

Maybe you relate with the right on that one particular thing and that's fine. Being more bipartisan and open-minded is all the power to you.

What is being done to secure elections against vote trafficking/muling?

Up until a couple years ago the only time I heard Law and Order in a sentence was on TV

Yeah, that has some truth, it might not be a phrase commonly used in the mass media or spoken socially.

I can just see how someone who hears the term "law and order" being said with a negative connotation could beg someone to wonder if their issue is with the laws that are centuries old or the individuals who capitalize on them in a new era

Both do have issues. The law isn't sacred or perfect and it's fine for someone to wonder that, discuss that, and maybe both of us can learn something from the discussion.

Laws are supposed to be improved and updated now and then. That's why we have bills in congress.

I don't think the latter would exist if the former was addressed.

The latter would still exist even if the former was addressed, it's natural for people to try to capitalize on the letter or the spirit of the law if they commit a crime and hard for them to just straight admit they are guilty, isn't it?

Crime is a messy thing to begin with, and the law does rely on the jury and the public being informed as well as police being competent at enforcement of law.

Oh, you're on a throwaway account. Well, are they wearing pedophile symbols on their badges knowingly and is there some conspiracy going on?
