Except it’s not misleading in a logical sense, the only reason someone would commit voter fraud is to influence an election. If there’s only 1,285 verified cases since 2007 then the conclusion is that voter fraud does not effect election outcomes.

I’d take slightly misleading over an outright lie any day.

you know it wasn't legit when...

Yes good

This guy is in charge of promoting fairness for Twitter 🤣
