Cases of voter-ID election fraud found 'virtually non-existent'

By Natasha Khan and Corbin Carson, News21 | 08/13/12

In Minnesota, there have been 10 total cases of reported fraud and no cases of voter impersonation reported since 2000.

"A News21 analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal, and in-person voter impersonation on Election Day, which prompted 37 state legislatures to enact or consider tough voter ID laws, is virtually non-existent."

"Minnesota Majority took the information to prosecutors across the state, many of whom showed no interest in pursuing it. But Minnesota law requires authorities to investigate such leads. And so far, Fund and von Spakovsky report, 177 people have been convicted -- not just accused, but convicted -- of voting fraudulently in the Senate race. Another 66 are awaiting trial. "


I've got to check this out with Sec State Ritchie's office.
