We've got a new number on just how extensive America's voter fraud problem really is. Hold on to your hats, folks, because that number is: 31.
I’ve been tracking allegations of fraud for years now, including the fraud ID laws are designed to stop. In 2008, when the Supreme Court weighed in on voter ID, I looked at every single allegation put before the Court. And since then, I’ve been following reports wherever they crop up.  
To be clear, I’m not just talking about prosecutions. I track any specific, credible allegation that someone may have pretended to be someone else at the polls, in any way that an ID law could fix.
So far, I’ve found about 31 different incidents (some of which involve multiple ballots) since 2000, anywhere in the country.

we all have known the voter fraud is in the back pockets and backyards of the republican party, they can't find it because like WMD's it's a fraud being perpetrated on the electorate for one reason to suppress the Progressive vote and their scotus pals helped them impose this on those voters, within minutes after they handed down the ruling those southern red states couldn't reinstate enough voter restrictive blocking that by itself should have been reason to vacate their decision and reinstate thos sections they struck down giving republicans a unfair and un American advantage especially if you throw in gerrymandering.

to give you a more accurate figure of alleged voter fraud cases that might have been prevented by voter ID laws, are you ready?   .000000031%
