There is and here is how many there are, shown using Skittles and M&Ms
I'm not going to say that there isn't voter fraud but this guy is literally looking in the wrong place. If you want to stem voter fraud, make voting a state and national holiday (every two and four years) and update the software used in voting booths

Amazing. You made good points but critics like Collins will always say the problem are the voter rolls. Want to fix the voting rolls, nationalize it. Reason why duplicate names appear on them is because states are incapable of working together to resolve discrepancies accurately.

MCPO Roger Collins - The why would you want it done in only traditionally Democratic- leaning states as a test instead of everywhere you say it happens?

If you want to stem voter fraud, get rid of software altogether. Vote on paper ballots, and then sign them, after presenting valid ID of course.

I would suggest a trial test and just investigate California, New York and Illinois. If fraud doesn't exist there, I will believe it is a witch hunt and support closing the effort down.

MCPO Roger Collins - Because Texas, Florida, and North Carolina are sterling examples of integrity, right? You are right. When hunting for bear, you don't go into the desert. You also don't ignore the other places they live just to quantify your opinion

MCPO Roger Collins - And nonetheless, true. If you don't or won't hold places you like to the same standard as the place you don't like, it's called an agenda

SSG Michael Hartsfield - It's a mute point because President Trumps Commision on voter fraud is looking at all the states.

Since Lou Dobbs is a television and radio personality (not a journalist) and TV anchor, I felt the urge to check his story. I've read a lot on this and I believe he's wrong and have believed it from beginning. Since Trump's, tweet after the election said, "We had a very fair and very good election. I don't understand the protests," I know he didn't believe it either. At the local level, our checks (extensive roll checks and ID required to vote) are pretty stringent so I did some more research. I found lots and lots of research that says there may be some, but it's really small, and very hard to do. I also talked to some people who have worked at the polls for years, and they verified this. Here's some good research for you to check out. https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/voter-fraud

MCPO Roger Collins - I was confused at first. You use ballotpedia.org as a source, yet Brennan Center for Justice is not on that site that I can find. Then you say you are using a 2012 statement from the "National Center for Public Policy Research -- a self-described conservative, free-market, nonprofit think-tank" so I'm not sure which one is the one you are putting your faith in. I think your point is that a right-wing think thank says another one (not on the list) is left leaning. I guess that struck me funny. Probably not unusual for them to say that. And I tried to find something verifying George Soros had contributed to the BCJ, and could not. Perhaps you can find your (non-biased) source and let me know. The mission statement of the Brennan Center for Justice is " a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all....to preserving Constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism." Their advocacy is separate from their research, which means they could advocate for left-leaning issues yet not be left-leaning in their research. I looked up their BOD donations, and I didn't see anything unusual. However, ballotpedia says factcheck.org is one of the least biased, and this is what they say: http://www.factcheck.org/2017/01/trumps-bogus-voter-fraud-claims-revisited/. It seems to me that some of the same people here who are so avid there is voter fraud are also adamant that there is no Russia interfering with the election (you may not be one of them--I don't know), but that does not pass the common sense test to me. Since the President's own staff says they believe it. I do believe their has been some voter fraud (like if my neighbor votes for his dead wife and they don't catch it), but I think the numbers show it is so small as to be not worth the money it would take to make it 100% perfect. There are also other ways to accomplish the same ends, yet not release state data.

MCPO Roger Collins - Once again, you go to rude. Once again, I thought it a legitimate discussion. My bad. I will try not to make that mistake again.
