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.
But generally, the prevalence of voter fraud has widely been doubted. In 2013, for instance, a chart provided by then-AG Abbott showed 18 convictions, no-contest pleas or guilty pleas on voter fraud charges from 2002 through 2012. Thatâs not a lot of fire but it was sufficient for us to find False a Democratâs claim that studies had shown voter fraud to be non-existent in Texas.
