Morphine Prince 109,664 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is making the unprecedented assertion that the general election "is going to be rigged," and many people who are drawn to his presidential campaign have major doubts about the accuracy of the Nov. 8 vote. Only about one-third of Republicans say they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that votes on Election Day will be counted fairly, according to a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Half the people who have a favorable opinion of the Republican nominee say they have little to no confidence in the integrity of the vote count, the poll finds. Such fears of voter fraud are unfounded. There is no evidence it is a widespread problem in the United States. A study by a Loyola Law School professor found that out of 1 billion votes cast in all American elections between 2000 and 2014, there were only 31 known cases of impersonation fraud. Still, among people overall, only 4 in 10 have a lot of confidence in votes being counted accurately, though an additional 3 in 10 say they're at least moderately confident. Fifty-nine percent of those who have a favorable opinion of Trump's Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, have quite a bit or a great deal of confidence, compared with just 29 percent of those who have a favorable opinion of Trump. Overall, 35 percent in the poll say there's a great deal of voter fraud in American elections, 39 percent say there's only some and 24 percent say there's hardly any. About half of Republicans, but only about one-quarter of Democrats, say they think there's a great deal of voter fraud. Also, 58 percent of those who have a favorable opinion of Trump think there's a great deal of fraud, while just 18 percent of those who like Clinton say the same.

He can't even be consistent with his lies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even get that he discounted his own claim that he won the debate. I loved that tbh. He was so sure of two things: 1) That he won the debate 2) That he lost the debate because it was rigged and his mic was faulty Did you see that some people were even saying that Hillary scratched her nose to signal to Lester Holt that she wanted to get in a zinger? Or that her mic pack was actually a secret ear piece that was feeding her the questions and answers? Or my favorite, that her mic pack was actually an "anti-coughing machine" Trump and his basket of deplorables are so detached from reality. Full on Dunning–Kruger effect. Spoiler I'm obligated to say this isn't a direct attack on any members that give Trump an iota of validation. I question your logic but it's yours to be had, I guess.

OliverViennese 1,164 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just so you know, this is not a method that Trump does exclusively. The leader of the austrian right-wing party spread manipulation rumors before all the votes were counted, so people had all kind of weird theories how the election was manipulated. total mess... https://www.last.fm/user/derOlliM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're criticized, it's bias. If their hateful ideals aren't tolerated, it's bigotry. They don't believe their own sh*t stinks basically.
