Justin Levitt, a constitutional law professor at Loyola University Law School, has examined news reports and government records dating to 2000, during which more than 1 billion federal, state and local ballots were cast. The total number of credible allegations of in-person voter fraud that he found -- not convictions, mind you, allegations -- was startling: 31. Nationwide. Social-science research supports the conclusion that such fraud is minuscule. Compared with absentee-ballot fraud, for example, in-person voter fraud would be an especially hapless way to attempt to steal an election. Which is why, Levitt wrote, it rarely happens. (thats an allegation level of 0.0000031%).
