Connecticut: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 31 proven election-fraud cases in Connecticut since 1982, 25 of them since 2000, most commonly absentee fraud. Against 2,520,650 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.00099% of the rolls, or 1 in 101k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 2.18 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 1.4× the national rate, #18 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
