Voter fraud is surprisingly common. Prosecutions for it can range from small-scale cases, like someone with two residences voting in both states, to large-scale crimes that changed electoral outcomes, affected hundreds or thousands of votes, and ranged across multiple states.
An extensive voter fraud database maintained by the Heritage Foundation has logged 1384 proven cases of voter fraud, resulting in 1191 criminal convictions, 48 civil penalties, and 103 defendants ending up in diversion programs. And the foundation says the list doesn’t come close to being comprehensive.
The database, which goes back to 1992, lists 19 elections overturned due to fraud, 16 of those since 2000.
