Careful when walking out in a thunder storm. You have more chance of being hit by lightening than election fraud.

The probability of being struck by lightning in Texas was 1 in 1.35 million. Based on the number of in-person voter fraud cases identified in Texas versus the number of ballots cast, those odds were lower -- 1 in 18 million.

The National Weather Service tracks lightning strikes. The most recent figures -- in terms of injuries as well as deaths caused by lightning strikes -- cover the 10-year period from 2004 through 2013.

On average, the number of deaths and injuries reported each year was 267 -- 33 deaths, plus 234 injuries.

The weather service believes that total figure is higher, however, because some injuries from lightning strikes are not reported. It estimates that the total number of casualties per year is actually 330 -- 33 deaths plus 297 injuries.

Documented cases of voter fraud by impersonation are far fewer.
