This article comes from one of the very well respected fact-checking groups, Politifact. When Governor Abbott's long standing support for the prevalence of voter fraud was directly challenged by President Obama during a visit to Austin, the governor responded strongly. When Governor Abbott used the adjective "rampant," this triggered many different media outlets to search for supporting evidence. When Politifact went knocking on doors in the state government for supporting facts behind the governor's statement, the governor chose not to reply, but the state attorney general's office provided some numbers on voter fraud cases. Politifact also found some data in a Heritage Foundation report, one that should be favorable to the governor's position since it is a very conservative policy think tank. What was the approximate total number of recent cases between these two sources?

The total number of the recent cases as reported from the sources is 30.

Explanation:

The number of sources from the both articles are as indicated in the attached article. The number of cases is actually a factual data which is just a recall of the knowledge and thus is found from the data sources.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
