I constantly hear from my GOP friends that we have to stop fraudulent votes. I mention that there are very few and they say there should be none. I ask how many legit voters votes should or have to be be suppressed to insure no fraudulent votes are counted. They do not have an answer since the stats in my state alone show thousands of legit voters votes have been suppressed by the actions of our GOP legislature. There used to be an old saying that 1000 guilty should go free rather than one innocent br found guilty.That is no longer true with our court system and this is now how the GOP seems to think. Rather a 100,000 people lose their right to vote or not have their votes count than a single fraudulent vote be counted. Of course it might just be that they want to choose the votes that count and the ones that are suppressed.

Probably none since the number of fraudulent votes is rarely statistically significant in the outcome of an election.
