Voter Fraud vs. Election Fraud by the Numbers
Posted By: Media Bias Fact Check
Voter ID and voter fraud are topics once again with Donald Trump claiming 3.5 million illegal immigrants voted. With this in mind, we set out to determine just how much voter fraud and election fraud exists. First, we need to define both. Voter fraud is directly done by an individual to impersonate someone else, attempt to vote multiple times or in different districts. Election fraud refers to perjury, voter registration fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, bribery, destroying already cast ballots, and a multitude of crimes related to the electoral process. Election fraud would not be stopped with voter ID. According to News21, who analyzed 2068 cases of alleged voter fraud from 2000 to 2012 there were 10 proven cases of voter fraud out of 146 million registered voters during that time period. For perspective, voter fraud, according to this analysis would equate to .00000007% of registered voters. Politifact checked the claim of 10 cases of voter fraud by News21 and rated this mostly true.
