for voter fraud. What they came up with was about three or four people who had deliberately registered and voted in both Kansas and Missouri. As I recall, all of them were Republicans (gosh!) and they defended their right to do that because they owned a home on one side of the state line and had a business on the other.

While what they did is despicable and there needs to be some kind of punishment, even that kind of voter fraud is incredibly rare.

Certainly, if college students who went to school out of state were willing to be sufficiently organized, a lot of them could vote in two different places. I'm guessing hardly any of them do.
