President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would seek a "major investigation" on voter fraud in the November election, despite an overwhelming consensus among state officials, election experts and politicians that voter fraud is rare in the United States.

These are the people who are directly involved in running the election.

So of course they aren't going to implicate themselves.


It's a 'hegudboi,hedidndunuffin' interviewing the mother level of investigation.


Remember the Democrats stopped the Michigan recount just as
rigged voting claims started coming out.

The Veritas videos alone showed something very rotten in the US.

Or they take their responsibilities seriously and made an extra effort to prevent vote fraud, and now take exception to their professionalism being called into question based on shady circumstances.

Just curious but maybe you could inform me of exactly what efforts the Democrats are making to prevent vote fraud? Because last I checked they oppose any and all efforts to prevent vote fraud.

Then neither are Hillary Clinton or Jill Stein.

Hillary Clinton is being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump, New York has learned. The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked.

I don't know your system well enough to comment, but in our system voting is overseen and carried out by a ministry of the government, not any one particular party. There are individual citizens who oversee the overseerers to prevent any abuse.

The end of the article at the start of this thread cites voter fraud investigations in the US that have turned up essentially nothing.

I have a really hard time believing widespread fraud in the US electoral system.

Trump's not all there. Not sure about Bart and Martin either...

Me as well. I'm a professional, I care about the job I do and how well I do it. I'm sure we all are here. (yes, I'm looking at you P_D)

To assume the people responsible for one of the tenets of Democracy for the US are not professionals I think is a big mistake.

Here's the thing: We do not positively identify people who vote in the US, we do not check to see if they vote in more than one jurisdiction, we do not reconcile death certificates with the voter rolls and then purge those rolls of dead people, we do not routinely check to make sure that excessive amounts of mail-in ballots are being sent to any particular address.

And the Democrats consistently oppose any measures to do these things because if we did then we'd KNOW if vote fraud exists.

Right now there's anecdotal evidence of vote fraud but no one can say if it's widespread.

More importantly, the anti-Trumpers here can't PROVE that vote fraud doesn't exist because no one is doing the things that would assure us that it doesn't exist.
