4 cases of fraud found in 2016 election out of 135 million votes.
remember trump anointed a presidential commision to get the numbers and prove as he claimed there were what 4 million cases of vote fraud that he knew about. That commision disbanded without putting out what was learned. and every right wing state could submit cases to fraud but as noted in person vote fraud was 4 cases total.
This is in line with Bush-Rove tasking federal prosecutors to find and prioritize vote fraud. I think they found 7 total in all the years of in person vote fraud. .

The Guy Running for Governor in Georgia Was Caught on Tape Saying He's Worried People Will Vote
Quote: | From Marie Claire
In today's edition of All The Chilling Ways Republicans Are Trying To Beat Out Opponents, governor candidate Brian Kemp was caught on tape telling a closed-door group of donors that he was "concerned" that people in Georgia would go out and vote in November, Rolling Stone's Jamil Smith reports. To quote Kemp, the current Secretary of State in Georgia, who technically oversees the gubernatorial election and has already moved to purge tens of thousands of voters: Stacey Abrams' effort to improve voter turnout "continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote."
The remarks were made at a "Georgia Professionals for Kemp" event, according to Rolling Stone, where one attendee secretly taped Kemp's off-the-record remarks. Kemp specifically mentioned the importance of keeping voter turnout low for his campaign to be successful, saying his campaign feared “the literally tens of millions of dollars that [Abrams' campaign] are putting behind the get-out-the-vote effort to their base."
The whole thing is exactly as dark as it sounds. The higher voter turnout is in Georgia, the more likely it is than Kemp will lose to Abrams, a beloved progressive who, if voted in, would be the first black woman governor in the nation. And nobody is more aware of the importance of voter turnout in the state than Kemp, who has already acted to purge 53,000 voters simply because they opted not to vote in prior elections, and is actively seeking to suppress thousands more. |
