   The Trump campaign produced a 524-page document in response to Ranjan’s   
   request, and The Intercept obtained a copy. According to Salame, the   
   document “contains a few scant examples of election fraud” — but none of   
   them actually involve mail-in ballots.   
      
      
   The examples of fraud that it does provide include the case of four poll   
   workers who admitted to harassment and intimidation of voters at one   
   polling place during a special election in 2017. It also includes an   
   election judge who altered vote totals in his polling place between 2014   
   and 2016 at the behest of a political consultant. And while the amended   
   complaint brought by the campaign cites a few incidents of mail-in   
   fraud, none were mentioned in the discovery document.   
      
      
   This is far from the first time that Republicans have failed to   
   substantiate their frequent claims that voter fraud is a persistent   
   problem in American elections. In 2018, one of U.S.’s most prominent   
   crusaders against voter fraud, then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris   
   Kobach, was asked by a district court to produce evidence that   
   noncitizens were voting in his home state of Kansas. Kobach brought   
   forth witnesses, but their testimony fell apart on cross examination.   
      
      
      
   Judge Julie Robinson wrote in her opinion that “evidence that the voter   
   rolls include ineligible citizens is weak. At most, 39 [non]citizens   
   have found their way onto the Kansas voter rolls in the last 19 years.”   
   The rare known cases of voter fraud were not the tip of the iceberg, she   
   concluded, “there is no iceberg; only an icicle, largely created by   
   confusion and administrative error.”
