The claim that there have been very few in-person voter fraud cases over decades is strongly supported by multiple sources: News21 found 10 in-person impersonation cases from 2000 to 2012, Brennan Center research finds in-person impersonation fraud extraordinarily rare, and FactCheck.org and PolitiFact both document its rarity. The extracted claim matches the passage's own statement faithfully.

Robinson's Podcast · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. News21's nationwide analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 found only 10 cases of in-person voter impersonation, about one per 15 million prospective voters.[5][6]
Supports. Brennan Center testimony (2026) concludes in-person impersonation fraud is extraordinarily rare, with only a handful of recent accounts, several thoroughly debunked.[4]
Supports. FactCheck.org reports that numerous academic studies and government inquiries have found in-person voter fraud to be rare.[1]
Supports. PolitiFact notes that only 10 in-person impersonation cases were proven nationally out of 1 billion ballots cast since 2000.[2]
Supports. AP review (2026) describes voter fraud as rare, with security protocols frequently catching the misconduct that does occur.[3]
Context. Some sources note broader fraud categories (absentee and registration fraud) are more common than in-person fraud, but the claim is specifically about in-person cases, which are consistently described as very few.[7][8]
