An adverb that modifies a verb is generally more flexible: it may appear before or after the verb it modifies ( softly sang or sang softly ), or it may appear at the beginning of the sentence ( Softly she sang to the baby). The position of the adverb may have an effect on the meaning of the sentence.
The official total had Thompson up by only five thousand votes. The US Department of Justice found at least 100,000 fraudulent votes (over 10% of Chicagoâs vote). Sixty-three people were convicted of voter fraud. The feds broke it open because a campaign worker complained that he didnât get his promised city job after helping with the fraud.
A News21 analysis of 2,068 alleged election-fraud cases since 2000 shows that while fraud has occurred, the rate is infinitesimal, and in-person voter impersonation on Election Day, which prompted 37 state legislatures to enact or consider tough voter ID laws, is virtually non-existent.
