Georgia: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 36 proven election-fraud cases in Georgia since 1982, 28 of them since 2000, most commonly absentee fraud. Against 8,234,335 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.00034% of the rolls, or 1 in 294k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 1.00 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 0.6× the national rate (below average), #32 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
