An @AP review of every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states disputed by former President Donald Trump has found fewer than 475 cases of fraud — a number so small it would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election.http://apne.ws/biUiflr

Trump and his allies have continued to insist falsely that the election was fraudulent, citing a wide range of complaints including the expansion of mail voting because of the pandemic. Dozens of state and federal courts have rejected the claims. http://apne.ws/cTWTfct pic.twitter.com/vJNnK3atvb

The small number of cases found by the
@AP could not throw the outcome of the election into question even if every vote was for Biden and if all of those ballots were counted, neither of which were true. The@AP also found no evidence of collusion. http://apne.ws/T9rymJj pic.twitter.com/pHwsIV4jTX

Virtually every case involved a person acting alone to try to cast extra ballots, including: • A woman in Arizona suspected of sending in a ballot for her dead mother. • A Pennsylvania man who went to the polls twice, voting for himself and for his son. http://apne.ws/1bWnCFg

The
@AP’s months-long review encompassed roughly 340 local election offices, making it one of the most comprehensive examinations of suspected voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. It showed that fraud is not only rare, but generally detected.http://apne.ws/i3FvTPhShow this thread -
In Wisconsin, five people have been charged with fraud out of nearly 3.3 million ballots cast. “I would have to venture a guess that’s about the same odds as getting hit by lightning,” said George Christenson, an election clerk in the state. http://apne.ws/lRFflKC pic.twitter.com/fKOcZAdmTm

Donald Holz is among the five people facing voter fraud charges in Wisconsin. Holz was on parole in November 2020, making him ineligible to vote in the state. Holz said all he wanted to do was vote for Trump, and that he did not intend to break the law. http://apne.ws/ZzmRLk9

Limited instances of fraud do occur, as the
@AP review illustrates, and additional cases are still possible. But safeguards ensure that there are few and that most are caught. Here’s a look at the@AP’s review process in all six battleground states:http://apne.ws/SCMpLztShow this thread

You are reporting this as if all 100% of fraudulent votes was for Biden. What it the %?
