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.
Even at the time, voting rights advocates pushed back. If 1 to 2 percent of the vote in Wisconsinâs 2010 gubernatorial election were fraudulent, that would amount to 21,000 to 42,000 votes, or six to 12 fraudulent votes in the stateâs 3,630 precincts, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel found.
