Oregon: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 18 proven election-fraud cases in Oregon since 1982, 18 of them since 2000, most commonly double voting. Against 3,060,374 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.00059% of the rolls, or 1 in 170k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 1.32 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 0.8× the national rate (below average), #29 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
