![]() There is study after study that make this fact plain. While Trump likes to focus on 500,000 absentee ballot applications being sent with the wrong return address in Virginia recently, the truth of the matter is that while mistakes like that one can get made, there’s just no evidence of widespread purposeful voting fraud.
