Demos did a fairly exhaustive search to document such cases in 2003. You can find it at:

There has been very little systematic evidence of any widespread individual voter fraud (as opposed to election official, campaign or machine fraud). I also have found little other systematic study of the issue.

Subject: Evidence Of Voter Fraud



I have been reading about the GOP proposals for photo ID requirements 
for all voters, and also calls for a national registration ID (with 
photos and fingerprints, according to some accounts).  I was wondering 
who has data quantifying the actual amount of voter fraud (as opposed to 
fraud by voting officials) which has occurred in recent years.  I recall 
asking this in the past and not getting anything specific; is there new 
evidence? SJM
