They have these things we call in debates called “citations”
Names and bodies, please. Your ghosts, I will admit, are piling up.
We have Donald Trump and his zealots already paving the way for allegations of mass fraud and rigged elections.
Based on what evidence? Almost none.
Everytime Trump drops in the polls, he pulls out the fraud card. It's never his own doing -
- the Media is against him (never mind the fact that they never pressed him very hard on his lies);
- the Clintons are rigging it (never mind the fact that there is no evidence of that happening and rigging a national election is next to impossible in this country).
So somehow all this - not the man's character, not his lack of any sort of filter, not his policies or actions - are losing him the election. It's utter madness and logic
- Voter fraud - this, based on a handful of allegations, a lack of actual evidence, and over the years precious few convictions.
Comprehensive 10-Year Voter Fraud Study Found: It’s a GOP Myth
These warnings are not new and not supported by evidence; they defy numerous studies that have found that voter fraud is minimal.
They also invite a question: If the election is rigged, who is doing the rigging?
Presidential elections are conducted on a state-by-state basis, not nationally. And in most of the states seen as presidential battlegrounds, the chief elections officers are Republicans — most directly accountable to their state's voters.
There are states with some measure of Democratic control over the process.
- In Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah, the chief elections officer of the state is a Republican, elected by voters of the state. Most are secretary of state; Utah’s lieutenant governor oversees elections there.
- In Florida, the secretary of state is appointed by the state’s Republican governor, Rick Scott — a Trump supporter.
- In North Carolina, the state board of elections has five members, appointed by the governor — currently a Republican. Its current chairman and three out of five members are Republicans.
- In Minnesota and Missouri, the chief elections officer is a Democrat elected by the voters of the state.
- Pennsylvania’s secretary of state was appointed by the state’s Democratic governor.
- New Hampshire’s longtime secretary of state was once a Democrat, but was reelected to his post by the Republican-led state legislature.
- Virginia’s Democratic governor, Terry McAuliffe — a longtime Clinton ally — appointed each member of that state’s three-person elections board.
Comprehensive 10-Year Voter Fraud Study Found: It’s a GOP Myth
...The Washington Post’s “Wonkblog” offers a summary of studies and investigations that have examined the issue of voter fraud. These studies have been conducted by academic researchers, news organizations, and state governments. They all produced similar results: The massive “in person” voter fraud that Republicans claim is helping Democrats steal elections simply does not exist.
Out of all of the research cited in the story, the investigations conducted by various states are the most interesting, because they were conducted by states that are currently controlled by Republicans. For example, the Kansas secretary of state took a look at 84 million votes cast in 22 states, trying to find duplicate registrations. The result? They referred 14 cases to prosecutors. Fourteen. Out of 84 million votes.
North Carolina also participated in the multi-state voter “cross check” program. Their survey of 28 states turned up 765 people with the same names, birth dates, and whose Social Security numbers ended with the same four digits, who voted in North Carolina and another state, according to the Charlotte News and Observer. There is no word on how many, if any, of those people will be prosecuted. Even if all 765 were guilty of voter fraud, it is still a tiny percentage of the nearly seven million votes cast in North Carolina in 2012, and certainly not enough to sway the outcome of an election.
Iowa’s Republican secretary of state Matt Schultz spent two years, and over a quarter of a million taxpayer dollars, to find 117 possibly fraudulent votes, leading to only six convictions. Of those who were convicted, three were felons who believed that their right to vote had been restored.
Even though voter fraud does not exist on the level that Republicans claim that it does, there are instances of possible voter fraud in almost every election. Here are a few examples:
- Last year in Virginia, Adam Ward pleaded guilty to faking hundreds of signatures that were needed for Newt Gingrich to be eligible to appear on the state’s primary election ballot.
- In 2012, Charlie White, Indiana’s Republican secretary of state was convicted of six felony counts of voter fraud.
- Also in 2012, four staffers of Michigan Republican congressman Thaddeus McCotter were found guilty of forging over 1500 signatures in an attempt to qualify the congressman for the ballot.
- Wisconsin Tea Partier and Scott Walker supporter Robert Monroe has been charged with casting multiple ballots in several elections.
NO ONE claims it doesn't occur (despite misleading claims by some) - but it's very uncommon. Why is it uncommon? It's not a very successful way of throwing an election. People will always find examples to throw in as "proof" but so what? A handful out of millions of votes? And that is sufficient excuse to try and undermine our entire electoral integrity with this infectious madness?
Hell, the Democrats could have flown that flag with Gore vs Bush, called for violence and armed poll watchers. But this madness is new and the source is Trump. Everyone is "against him" - everyone is "biased" - the Dems, the media, the Republican establishment. Maybe it's not "Them" - maybe it's Trump himself who causing people to turn away. Ever think of that?
Vote fraud has been a major factor in multiple Presidential elections. Look up Benjamin Harrison for starters.

You are completely blind if you cannot see the media bias.
Voter fraud is rampant. From thugs in Philadelphia blocking access to polling places. To lawsuits filed against the State of Florida to prevent the state from purging voter rolls of deceased individuals and those who'v either left the state or have not voted in 10 or more years. To those who have admitted voting multiple times in the same election.We have Donald Trump and his zealots already paving the way for allegations of mass fraud and rigged elections.

Democrats are trying to rig the election...Period.
Voter 'fraud' is a myth to the extent that no election outcome has been 'changed' as a result of 'fraud.'
