Content: The Department of Justice even proved how comparatively minuscule the issue is when the George W. Bush administration established the Ballot Access and Voting Integrity Initiative in 2002 to address the issue of voter fraud and election crimes. The department revealed that between October 2002 and July 2006, 119 individuals were charged with voter fraud infractions, of which just 86 were convicted. Many of the individuals charged, the New York Times reported, had misunderstood the rules or mistakenly filled out registration forms, versus explicitly intending to commit fraud. While there have been studies showing a higher rate of voter fraud, their findings have often been questioned. A 2014 study, for instance, used data provided by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study to conclude that noncitizen participation in U.S. elections "has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes." The study's authors reported their results in a blog for the Washington Post, which has been cited by administration officials as a source of Trump's illegal voting claims. That study, however, has since been debunked by professionals from the CCES, the source of its data. In a separate 2015 peer-reviewed study specifically condemning the original study's findings, CCES professionals noted the 2014 study was skewed by "low-level measurement error" that resulted in "large prediction errors." In reality, the debunkers noted, "the likely percent of noncitizen voters in recent U.S. elections is zero." Statewide instances of voter fraud
Voter fraud isn't a major problem at the state level, either.
