Utah: proven election fraud

The Heritage Foundation's database lists 3 proven election-fraud cases in Utah since 1982, 3 of them since 2000, most commonly false registration. Against 2,039,862 registered voters, the since-2000 cases equal 0.00015% of the rolls, or 1 in 680k registered voters. Per ballot, that is 0.39 cases per million presidential votes since 2000: 0.2× the national rate (below average), #45 of 51. Even here, proven fraud touches a vanishing sliver of the vote.
