Report: voter fraud, found incident rates between 0.00004 percent and 0.0009 percent

The Brennan Center’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud, and found incident rates between 0.00004 percent and 0.0009 percent. Given this tiny incident rate for voter impersonation fraud, it is more likely, the report noted, that an American “will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls.”

They work themselves and their followers that it is a really big problem, then they get FOX and other outlets propagate their lies and succeed in preventing people from voting.

Why do they do this? Because they would be gone as a political party if everyone was allowed to vote.
