Judge DeMuro cast a total of about 100 ballots across 3 elections.

This is why voter fraud is not nearly the threat voter suppression is.

It’s a lot of work for someone to cast that many ballots. It’s far easier to deny 100s of thousands of people their right to vote, or to stuff ballot boxes with election fraud measures like adding to counts or manipulating the numbers after the votes are cast. This one example will now give Trump all the evidence he needs to prove that voter fraud is real and widespread (it isn’t).

At the bottom of the article you cite:

While those numbers may seem small, prosecutors said, they made up a significant percentage of the total votes cast at the polling place. In 2014, 118 total ballots were reported there, which means that DeMuro’s fraudulent votes accounted for over 22% of the total voting in that division in 2014. In 2015, his fraud accounted for over 15% of the votes in the division; in 2016, his fraud accounted for over 17% of the votes.
