Editorâs note: This article is coauthored by Kaitlynn Samalis-Aldrich. With the addition of the newest batch of cases, all from the state of Texas, The Heritage Foundationâs Election Fraud Database now has 1,302 cases of proven election fraud, and we are following numerous other ongoing prosecutions. As these cases and the database demonstrate, the threats to election integrity and instances of election fraud throughout the country continue to jeopardize fair and free elections for the American people. The Texas cases also demonstrate that fraud can happen at different points during the election process, and that it effectively dilutes legitimate ballots cast by legal voters.
