What are the five major challenges Buhari is facing? An overview. 1. Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram\n\nHe promised to defeat the islamist terror group Boko Haram. Since his election in March 2015, Buhari has been able to curb the influence of the Islamist extremists. But although the president in December 2015 said that Boko Haram was \"technically defeated,\" the islamists continue to attack. The terrorist group is said to be responsible for an attack in Maiduguri on Wednesday that left eight people dead.\n\nStill unclear is under what circumstances the 21 Chibok schoolgirls were released on Thursday. According to local sources, the girls were swapped for Boko Haram prisoners. The Nigerian government has denied this. Over two years ago, Boko Haram kidnapped 276 Nigerian schoolgirls from Chibok. The Chibok girls became a symbol of the Boko Haram terror. Although the Nigerian military was able to claw back territory from from Boko Haram, Buhari has been under criticism, because he wasn't - until this week - able to free any of the girls.\n\nAnd in the northeastern part of the country, the population still faces a humanitarian crisis because of Boko Haram. UNICEF workers are referring to the worst situation of hunger in the world. More than three million people in the region have been forced out of their homes. Aid agencies can only reach many of the refugee camps by helicopter - the streets are very insecure. Oxfam workers accuse the army of doing nothing in the region instead of securing access roads for aid agencies. 2. Economic slump\n\nThe fight against Boko Haram is costing Buhari a lot of money and it is running out. The price of oil has gone down by half since mid 2014, likewise oil production has sunk drastically due to sabotage by rebels in the Niger Delta - Buhari's next problem.

In states with universal vote-by-mail like Colorado and Utah, we certainly see instances where submitted ballots are signed by someone other than the voter and those are caught.

Incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. \n\nA study published by a Columbia University political scientist tracked incidence rates for voter fraud for two years, and found that the rare fraud reported could be traced to “false claims by the loser of a close race, mischief and administrative or voter error.”\n\nA 2017 analysis published in The Washington Post concluded that there is no evidence to support Trump’s claim that Massachusetts residents were bused into New Hampshire to vote.\n\nA comprehensive 2014 study published in The Washington Post found 31 credible instances of impersonation fraud from 2000 to 2014, out of more than 1 billion ballots cast.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230331140929/https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/Briefing_Memo_Debunking_Voter_Fraud_Myth.pdf", "source_medium": "PDF", "source_url": "https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/Briefing_Memo_Debunking_Voter_Fraud_Myth.pdf" } ], "question": "What studies have been made about the incidence of voter fraud in the US, and what were their findings?" }, { "answers": [ { "answer": "Opportunity for Fraud\n\nThe problem (and opportunity for fraud) this could cause is illustrated by something the president talked about at one of his news conferences; namely, the settlement that Judicial Watch obtained from Los Angeles and the state of California over their failure to maintain the accuracy of their voter registration rolls.  \n\nThe state and LA agreed to remove from the rolls 1.5 million individuals who remained registered even though they no longer were eligible to vote. Imagine what would have happened if 1.5 million ballots were simply mailed out to all of those individuals to addresses where they no longer live.\n\nBallots are a valuable commodity.

In most states, that information includes a signature to match against the voter rolls. \n\nBar codes: Most election jurisdictions now use some form of bar code on their ballot envelopes. These bar codes allow election officials to keep track of ballot processing and help voters know whether their ballot has been received. Bar codes also allow states to identify and eliminate duplicate ballots.\n\nBallot tracking through the U.S. Postal Service: In many jurisdictions, including California, Colorado and Florida, ballot envelopes are equipped with intelligent mail bar codes to track an envelope from drop-off to delivery and processing. \n\nSecure drop-off locations and drop boxes: Multiple ballot return options limit the opportunity for ballot tampering by fostering voter independence in returning a ballot.\n\nHarsh penalties: Anyone who commits voter fraud using a mail ballot risks severe criminal and civil penalties: up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines for each act of fraud under federal law, in addition to any state penalties.\n\nPostelection audits: In 2018, a review of returned absentee ballot records helped identify anomalies in the election results of Bladen County, North Carolina, enabling election officials to uncover election interference by a political operative who stole and tampered with mail ballots.\n\nPolling sites as a fail-safe: if there are concerns that an eligible voter’s mail ballots could be lost or uncounted, in-person polling sites provided.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230402124859/https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/false-narrative-vote-mail-fraud", "source_medium": "Web text", "source_url": "https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/false-narrative-vote-mail-fraud" } ], "question": "What is potential voter fraud caused by in the US, and are causes addressed by safeguard security measures?" } ]
