Idaho: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 13 proven election-fraud cases in Idaho since 1982, 13 of them since 2000, most commonly false registration. Against 1,178,750 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.0011% of the rolls, or 1 in 91k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 2.66 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 1.7× the national rate, #10 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
