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.
Under Republican President George W. Bush, the U.S. Justice Department searched for voter fraud. But in the first three years of the program, just 26 people were convicted or pled guilty to illegal registration or voting. Out of 197,056,035 votes cast in the two federal elections held during that period, the rate of voter fraud was a miniscule 0.00000132 percent! No state considering or passing restrictive voter identification laws has documented an actual problem with voter fraud.
Current data shows states have chosen to deny nearly six million American citizens the right to vote because of felony convictions, including millions who have completely paid their debt to society. Some states even deny certain classes of overseas voters the right to vote.
