Minnesota: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 138 proven election-fraud cases in Minnesota since 1982, 138 of them since 2000, most commonly felon voting. Against 3,853,668 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.0036% of the rolls, or 1 in 28k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 6.70 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 4.3× the national rate, #2 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
