The number of J6ers re-arrested is accurate or very close to accurate. The "77" arrests for fraudulent ballots does not reflect reality. Voter fraud is remarkably rare, and hasn't been shown to affect elections, but it's still higher than 77 in the past 20 years.

The Heritage Foundation (don't yell at me), lists about 1,400 proven instances of election fraud.
https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/commentary/election-fraud-database-tops-1400-cases.

But who the hell trusts the Heritage Foundation? How about the Brennan Center for Justice, out of the NYU school of law? They factor in all kinds of confirmed fraud, and get a number for the past twenty years that reaches the low thousands. That's a very, very small number considering the millions and millions (billions) of votes cast in that time period, but it ain't 77.
