It doesn't matter what the national rate is (though it's likely higher than 30 per billion votes), what matters is that it happens. Plus there is more than simple impersonation. There is multiple voting. There is voting by ineligible voters. None of these can be stopped unless we can get to a place where verification can happen.
For example, a single county in Virginia has thousands of people who report on their jury duty forms that they are not citizens but who then go on to vote in elections.[1] The point is if they were not citizens then they were voting illegally. And if they were citizens but lied on their jury duty questionnaires they have committed a felony and thus ineligible to vote.
