It is absurd to think that the amount of fraud can be determined when every single vote cast has a broken chain of custody. I am sure most of the elections were fairly accurate. But as seen in California, a tsunami of ballot harvested votes counted after election day wiped out large GOP leads for four Congressional races.

And for those who think that Voter ID is racist should look in a mirror.
