Widespread election fraud claims by Republicans don’t match the evidence.
So, where’s the fraud?

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has been monitoring election fraud cases state by state. Election fraud covers a range of activities — such as registering someone to vote and forging their signature, filling out an absentee ballot for someone who has died or moved away, voting while ineligible, or pretending to be someone else at the polling place and voting. They find that there nationally have been 1,465 proven cases of election fraud — 1,264 of these resulted in criminal prosecutions and the remainder resulted in civil prosecutions, diversion programs, judicial findings, or official findings.
These may sound like big numbers, however, they must be examined in context.
The findings encompass more than a decade of data during which, nationally, hundreds of millions of votes have been cast. For instance, in Texas, Heritage found 103 cases of confirmed election fraud. However,
those 103 ranged from 2005 to 2022 during which time over 107 million ballots were cast. There were 11 million ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election alone.
The fraud in Texas amounted to 0.000096% of all ballots cast — hardly evidence of a fundamentally corrupt system.

And yet another from a firm that DJT had hired himself comes to the same conlcusion:

So when we say that there is voter fraud- nobody has ever claimed that there was ZERO fraud, but rather nothing that would denote or imply that it was systemic or organized etc. Or that it was statistically or in volume that would have had either an impact or change the outcome of the election. Nothing has
proven that to be the case in any state or in any county as alleged by the GOP or DJT, or any representative of the conservative talking heads.
It's just un-fathomable to them, that there is a LARGE population who don't like either DJT or the values that he represents. I laugh when I wrote the word values, as I don't think he has a single value that wasn't given to him as a talking point in order for him to use to get into office.
Show us proof that there is fraud; not a meme, not a tiktok, or X feed, or another derogatory joe blow post that is based on feelings, vs. facts.
I'd be more than happy to concede that there is fraud when you produce those facts.
