Thousands upon thousands that the GOP claimed were committing voter fraud. Upon closer examination, most of them were legally registerred. Some were dead people who hadn't been deleted from the voter rolls, but they hadn't voted. There were a handful of republicans and one democrat who had voted in two separate districts. And a non-resident Miami-Cuban who was mentally ill. So the grand total of voter fraud cases was less than 10...and most of them were republicans.
