Okay you are asking me for anecdotal, which is pretty questionable. But fraudulent votes were proven in the case of Dornan vs Sanchez. Just 9in that case) not enough to overturn the result. But if that had been closer, what then?

How many times are election results within error margins? On that many occasions we may as well have flipped a coin.

The House majority said there were 624 illegal votes. The minority pointed out that the INS said the database error rate was 50%, and that over half the voters showed themselves as legal and valid in the subsequent election. Even the majority report showed that:
a) there was no evidence of collusion or conspiracy (as charged by Dornan); and
b) even at the worst there was no chance the overall vote result was invalid.

Frankly, I think you’re asking the wrong question when you ask how many times are results within error margins. The more applicable question is how many times do close results (within error margins) include significant (influencing result) voter fraud.
