Abstract
This research paper focuses on issues related to voter fraud and integrity. Voter fraud and integrity have been consistent topics amongst citizens, especially in regards to voter identification and it's prevalence. Ultimately, this research explores the voter fraud numbers to examine the percentage of voter fraud and the likelihood of someone committing voter fraud. Data findings demonstrate that election integrity not being a prominent issue as the media reflects. The research presented will be a key aspect in addressing the issue so that we can move towards implementing more confidence in citizens to increase higher voter turn out rates. Following our most recent election, this will be an interesting project that can shine a light on the allegations brought up during the 2020 November election.

Comments
Dr. Mark Owens commented "Kierra, you open up a number of questions here and I really like the comparison you give on how people become informed about politics. Too often we see visible boundaries and expect that is the case, but political culture can be developed based on what informs our viewpoints."
