> In this case, the alleged conduct had no impact on the tabulation of votes and did not alter election results

Would be curious how they asserted that. A contractor in the last election dumped ballots in garbage in Pennsylvania. Justice department maintained it didn’t alter election integrity.

Given that it was nine ballots, that seems rational.

There is an extremely simple process to determine whether election integrity is compromised. Just check who won!
Read it. The alleged crime was related to PII of election workers. Not voters. The assertion is that nothing in their investigation indicated trouble with votes which isn't the same as guaranteeing nothing happened.
