Spakovsky is probably the worst person in this country to quote on election fraud. I'm not being hyperbolic.

    According to Professor Richard L. Hasen,
    an election-law expert at the University
    of California at Irvine, "there are number
    of people who have been active in
    promoting false and exaggerated claims
    of voter fraud and using that as a pretext
    to argue for stricter voting and registration
    rules. And von Spakovsky’s at the top of the
    list."[24] Hasen said that Spakovsky's
    appointment to Donald Trump's Presidential
    Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
    was a “a big middle finger” from Trump to
    people “serious about fixing problems with
    our elections.”[24]

Here's more:

    Finally, there’s Hans von Spakovsky. In the
    Bush Justice Department, Department veterans
    wrote that he was the “point person for
    undermining the Civil Rights Division’s mandate
    to protect voting rights.” He wanted DOJ to
    give the thumbs up to several state voter ID
    measures which critics said had a negative
    impact on minority voters.

    Former lawyers in the office said Mr.
    Spakovsky’s decisions seemed to have a
    partisan flavor unlike those in previous
    Republican and Democratic administrations.
    Mr. Spakovsky declined to comment.
