That means that for every election that had an instance of fraud, there were about 200 elections that passed with no incident.

Or that one out of every 200 elections was decided by fraud instead of the voters. Not a good record.

And again: that's only the ones we know about. These are crimes where the victim doesn't know for sure they've even been victimized. What percentage of shoplifters are caught? Unless the store carefully tracks it's inventory it usually doesn't even know it's been robbed.

I saw some stories of shipments getting mixed up.

That's because voting is mostly in person. If voting by mail ever became the standard method then intimidating mobsters would become the norm. And if you are willing to risk your family and call the cops you better be damned sure that the chief of police isn't in on it.
