5 things more frequent than voter fraud

August 8, 2014 by stacy

According to recently released results from an ongoing survey, there have been just 31 instances of in-person voter fraud since 2000. It’s official: UFO Sightings Are More Common. In an effort to highlight the absurdity inherent in voter fraud claims, we compiled this list of things that you’re more likely to see.
1. Vladimir Putin’s publicity stunts : 41*

 
2. Number of times characters say “Jack” or “Rose” in Titanic: 84 and 75, respectively**

 
3. People killed by a vending machine since 2000: 182

4. Number of times The Police sing “Roxanne” and “Red Light”: 49***

 
5. Cases of retained foreign objects found in patients following surgery per year: 110

*41 is an under-count. We found no single source that consistently tracks the exact number of Vladimir Putin’s publicity stunts (there are just so, SO many) but we discovered 41 well-documented cases after a cursory search.
**For the record, they both could have fit.
***When counting lead and backup vocals together.

"We wanted to encompass the other four demands of the Wake County Black Student Coalition, because it's not just about policing, but it really is about what the schools need to do to make students of color feel safe and supported."@t_whittenberg @Scalawag bit.ly/2Yk5M47

Many of those who’ve been working to feed, teach, and support our communities through this pandemic continue to risk their lives for a minimum wage that hasn’t gone up in 11 years. We need #NCGA to #ProtectAllWorkers and #RaiseTheWage. #ReleaseOurMoneyNC #FightFor15 pic.twitter.com/wfoX…
