But not in Wisconsin. They looked, and this is what they found.
So the news hit the other 49 states, but not the state it involves.
This is actual data on the pervasiveness of identity-related voter fraud in Wisconsin, discovered by people looking specifically for it. It finds that it is not a big problem, and that other forms of fraud not covered by this law were as much as eleven times more common in the 2008 election (and still not a big problem).
But, again, they did not do searches for this sort of fraud. You're comparing unlike things.
