Fortunately enough, those types of voter fraud are statistically insignificant. The bigger issue is large scale disenfranchisement, by unregistering voters days before an election.

1 in 10 ballots rejected (in the case highlighted by the article) is very statistically significant, if only at the local level.

Did you actually read the article? At no point does it actually state that 1/10 ballots were proof of voter fraud:

"Most commonly, officials did not count ballots because the signature on the ballot did not match the one on file, the ballot arrived too late or the required certificate was not enclosed."

I think the point is - they were rejected, but incorrectly. That's just as big of a problem as fraudulent votes.

1 in 10 voters didn't commit fraud. The article is very explicit about that.

I've been wondering since 2016 how we can say anything about voter fraud. How do you even measure that?
