How Prevalent is Voter Fraud?

As a part of discussion today the prevalence of voter fraud came up. We had some numbers that were only counting certain type of fraud such as that of felons, to others that had numbers of 180,000+ accounts of fraud in just one state. If every vote counts that means every vote that is fraudulent can also swing an election. Here are the facts I found about voter fraud:

• To date, 46 states have been prosecuted or convicted of voter fraud.
• More than 24 MILLION registration are invalid, yet remain on the count nation-wide.
• Affiliates of True The Vote voters who were registered after their deaths.
• More than 384,00 dead people have been found on voter registration rolls in 27 states.
• The Ohio Secretary of State admitted that multiple Ohio counties have more registered voters than residents. 

This is only some of the facts that I found after a very brief search on the internet. Voting is your right as American citizen. Seeing that right being taken advantage of by others is illegal and is a problem large enough to be addressed. Based off of these facts, I do think some system of voter identification needs to be put into place.
