BUT IT'S A COMFORTING MYTH:
Scant Evidence for Abbott's "Rampant" Voter Fraud (Ross Ramsey March 15, 2016, Texas Tribune)
A study done by News21, an investigative journalism project at Arizona State University, looked at open records from Texas and other states for the years 2000-2011 and found 104 cases of voter fraud had been alleged in Texas over that decade.Chew on this: If you only count the Texans who voted in November general elections -- skipping Democratic and Republican primaries and also special and constitutional elections -- 35.8 million people voted during the period covered by the ASU study.They found 104 cases of voter fraud among 35.8 million votes cast. That's fewer than three glitches per 1 million votes.
