Thanks for the correction, but it doesn't change my point: the amount of actual fraud was too small to make a difference by four orders of magnitude.

On top of that the fraud seems to actually have been committed mostly by the side that is accusing the other side of it.

Which makes sense, when you hear from your news sources that the other party is committing massive fraud, that gives some people an excuse to do so too.

Which was Trump's original intention for claiming the other side was committing voter fraud even before 2016, to encourage his supporters to do it "too" for him. And it worked.

I’m a Biden supporter but I would love to see some actual sources for this fraud.

Trump told his voters to try to vote twice. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-vote/t...

If anything it’s surprising that Pennsylvania only caught 3 Trump supporters trying to do it (see links in ancestor comment).
