The Polls One Year Ago In The "FAKE NEWS"

The margin in most of the states he won in is so narrow that it can be explained by old fashioned election fraud: simply dropping registered Democrats from the voter roll at the last minute. That is why we will never hear from the Trump Voter Fraud Committee.

You have any sources for that claim?
Or is it just baseless wild speculation on your part?

Go search my post history, I've been here for 5 years now and talked about the EC the whole time. I've always been pro EC, I think it's much better than a straight popular vote, but I've also said it's not perfect. It's been about 2 years now (I'm not smart enough to have figured it out sooner) that I've said the scalability issue is what's wrong with it.

It's one of the deep, systemic issues with our government that are likely unfixable and will eventually destroy the country. The Constitution created a few of those.

BTW, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a registered Republican. Most on this board would consider me a RINO as far as where I fall in the party.

Interesting. So, it only surfaced now that a president you do not agree with or like was elected?

And, BTW, who asked your political affiliation, not me (re-read my original post)?

Other than the person who was legally elected, what caused you to have this grand epiphany then?

Not at all, the person in office has nothing to do with it. In my free time I like to contemplate systems, eventually I figure out where they're weak. I'm not the smartest person around though, so it takes me a while.

As far as Presidents I don't like goes, I didn't like Obama either.

The Real Voting Scandal of 2016

It’s difficult to count uncast votes, but there were clearly thousands of them as a result of the voter-suppression measures. In 2014, according to a Wisconsin federal court, three hundred thousand registered voters in that state lacked the forms of identification that Republican legislators deemed necessary to cast their ballots. (The G.O.P. likes some forms of I.D. better than others. In Texas, a gun permit works; student identification does not.) In Milwaukee County, which has a large African-American population, sixty thousand fewer votes were cast in 2016 than in 2012. To put it another way, Clinton received forty-three thousand fewer votes in that county than Barack Obama did—a number that is nearly double Trump’s margin of victory in all of Wisconsin. The North Carolina Republican Party actually sent out a press release boasting about how its efforts drove down African-American turnout in this election.

The Real Voting Problem in the 2016 Election

Wisconsin’s defiance has been the most glaring. Last month, U.S. District Judge James Peterson ruled that the state’s hyper-strict voter ID law could stay in place only if IDs were made freely available to any eligible voter who needed one...

Except that Wisconsin hasn’t kept to it. A voting rights group sent volunteers to DMV offices around the state, recorded their interactions with clerks, and shared the audio with reporters. Most of the clerks gave out incorrect information about how to get a temporary voter ID, and several didn’t even appear familiar with the process, instead instructing the volunteers to begin compiling the underlying documents previously required. “It’s very time-consuming,” one acknowledged.

...

It’s a similar story in Texas. After a federal appeals court found the state’s voter ID law to be racially discriminatory—the third federal court to rule against the law—a judge ordered that voters without an acceptable ID be allowed to vote by signing an affidavit swearing that they couldn’t get one.

And the affidavit solution works only if Texas makes sure voters hear about it. A judge described an earlier state public education campaign for the ID law as “woefully inaccurate,” and the new one may not be much more effective: The same judge found last month that the state used misleading language in its promotional materials about the new rules, and ordered them to revamp it just weeks ahead of the start of early voting.

...

Then there’s North Carolina, whose multi-pronged voting law was struck down by a federal appeals court, which found it had targeted black voters with “almost surgical precision.” Unchastened, the head of the state Republican Party urged local election boards, which are controlled by the GOP, to make “party line changes” aimed at restricting early voting hours and locations. Several counties, including the state’s largest, Mecklenburg, followed that advice, reducing total hours and locations from 2012 despite an increase in population. The result: During the first two days of early voting, several counties that cut voting locations saw sharply reduced turnout compared to 2012.

The GOP’s Attack on Voting Rights Was the Most Under-Covered Story of 2016

27,000 votes currently separate Trump and Clinton in Wisconsin, where 300,000 registered voters, according to a federal court, lacked strict forms of voter ID. Voter turnout in Wisconsin was at its lowest levels in 20 years and decreased 13 percent in Milwaukee, where 70 percent of the state’s African-American population lives, according to Daniel Nichanian of the University of Chicago.

...

In 2014, a study by Rice University and the University of Houston of Texas’s 23rd Congressional District found that 12.8 percent of registered voters who didn’t vote in the election cited lack of required photo ID as a reason they didn’t cast a ballot, even though only 2.7 percent of registered voters actually lacked an acceptable ID. Texas’s strict voter-ID law blocked some voters from the polls while having an ever larger deterrent effect on others. Eighty percent of these voters were Latino and strongly preferred Democratic candidates.

Voter suppression, not fraud, looms large in U.S. elections

What Early Voting in North Carolina Actually Reveals

and thus far the most incidents of voter fraud were in favor of democrats.

There have been just four documented cases of voter fraud in the 2016 election

A woman in Iowa who voted twice. Terri Lynn Rote had the enormous misfortune of bad timing. Right as the candidate she supported, Trump, was drawing attention to fraud cases, Rote decided to try to vote twice in Des Moines, and got caught. The case made national headlines simply by virtue of the fact that it happened when it did, and that she voted for Trump.

A man in Texas who voted twice. Phillip Cook was arrested on Election Day after voting twice. He claimed to be an employee of Trump's campaign who was testing the security of the electoral system.

A woman who cast a ballot on behalf of her dead husband. Audrey Cook is a Republican election judge in Illinois.

A woman in Florida who marked absentee ballots. Gladys Coego was hired to open absentee ballots in Miami-Dade County. One of her co-workers noticed that she was going a step further, filling in the bubble for a mayoral candidate with a pen she had in her purse.

All four of those were people voting for Republicans. Two of them were 'testing the system.'

So we've got four confirmed and prosecuted cases of voter fraud affecting ~12 votes while half a million people were prevented from voting altogether.

From the failing New York Times, All This Talk of Voter Fraud? Across U.S., Officials Found Next to None

But inquiries to all 50 states (every one but Kansas responded) found no states that reported indications of widespread fraud. And while additional allegations could surface as states wind up postelection reviews, their conclusions are unlikely to change significantly.

Also note that Trump's margin of victory in crucial states like Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan is so slender that it could be explained by voter suppression. If the voter rolls were hacked and a few dozen Democrats dropped from each polling place.... This is why the Trump Commission will never issue a report.

HILLARY IS DEPRESSED AGAIN... (cue up the sad violin music)

"I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter, on October 28th, and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off.

And the evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling, persuasive, and so we overcame a lot in the campaign, we overcame an enormous barrage of negativity, of false equivalency and so much else.

But as Nate Silver, who is considered to be very reliable, has concluded: If the election had been on October 27th, I'd be your president."

That she only secured the nomination by chicanery over an old socialist by an equally corrupt DNC should have been the first clue that Clinton was not going to win the election.

Wow, you just said Trump's people were more effective at winning the election, hence smarter, than Hillary's thuggish election ghouls. Trump checkmated Hillary. This is the guy that will checkmate the world in negotiations. Thanks for telling us Trump is more effective than the clueless Hillbot.

and yet Democrats are refusing to cooperate with that commission. Probably to keep hiding their election fraud crimes.


and there were a lot more than just cases of election fraud.

Yes, ask Bernie Sanders if Wasserman and Hillary played fair or rigged the vote?

I would like to talk to the people who had direct knowledge of the fraud however since they were murdered that makes it impossible to do.
