Twitter should be happy that it remains relevant.

For a little bit there, it was going out on the way of Tinder and MySpace.

That my friends is the face of progressives everywhere and what's in the school systems now. And that's in Dallas, one of the most conservative states in the union. Imagine what teachers in California, New York and Illinois are doing.

Dallas is not a state.

We only keep them around cause of the Mavericks, and even then, so the Spurs can whoop their *** and make Cuban cry.

I was about to say Dallas is really red. And smaller than Houston for sure and I believe San Antonio. The only thing to see in Dallas is Jerryworld.

My whole thing is... why does it seem like it's a forgone conclusion that if there is voter fraud that it's only done by the democrats?

Well in the case of Illegal immigrants voting illegally in the last election. It was pretty clear that one candidate was characterized as wanting to round them all up and kick them out. Do you really need to ask WHY if they voted they would vote against that candidate?

But again it's your claim and the Donald's as well, and when you make claims that you don't have proof of, acting just a hunch or a feeling; it's not much.

I did post this earlier this morning. Within it it does contain several references to current voter fraud. I guess clicking the link is too hard?

Quote:
With that as a starting point, here’s some of what we do actually know. In the most recent election, 1/3 of voting machines in one Michigan county recorded more votes than the actual totals. In Florida, just before the election, five people complaining about not receiving their absentee ballots discovered that somebody else had cast them for them. (And those were five people in one small area who actually took the time to go complain. Yeah… I’m sure they were the only ones, right?) In Illinois, people were found to be offering cash for votes. When somebody bothered to check in one Colorado county, the dead were found to be voting with alarming regularity. In one southern California county there were hundreds more votes cast by the dead.

Now, when Al Franken obtained his 08 senate seat because of ~312 votes, it really doesn't take alot of fraud to make a MASSIVE difference.

Oh did you know that 1099 felons voted (illegally) in that race too?


Of you article that you posted and its references, only 2 stories would pertain to the 2016 Presidential election. One is appears to be an error with voting machines:

Quote:
236 precincts in balance — equal numbers of voters counted by workers and machines

248 precincts with too many votes and no explanation (77 were 1 over; 62 were 2 over, 37 were 3 over, 20 were 4 over, 52 were 5 or more over).

144 precincts with too few votes and no explanation (81 were 1 under, 29 were 2 under; 19 were 3 under; 7 were 4 under; 8 were 5 or more under)

34 precincts out of balance but with an explanation

That's from the article that Hot Air is linking in reference, and the other pertaining to 5 early ballots that were swiped and affected both Democrat and Republican voters. But it was 5 votes and yes that's an issue but its not 3 to 5 *** million like Trump is claiming.
Why would anyone risk fraud over a small handful of votes?

The most common voter fraud is misappropriation of mail in ballots.

Nursing homes have been known to "harvest" and sell them. People regularly steal mail in ballots from incompetent relatives or just ones late to the mailbox. A friend's mom did that to him.

But that most common voter fraud isn't even 0.05%.

Still exists.

While I do believe that Trump is just pissed that he didn't win the popular vote, he is right that voter fraud needs to be stamped out.

If it is as big as he says it is, then it is in dire need to be fixed.

If it is as big as the media is portraying, it still needs to be fixed.

If there's only one case of voter fraud in America last election, newsflash: it still needs to be fixed.

Eliminate all fraud. Not just those that is deemed politically convenient to fix, and ignore the ones that benefit you the most.....

I'm more surprised that you saw a pop culture reference, didn't get it, and instantly didn't think "that must have not been targeted at me"

But opted for "I must tell everyone I did not get that reference, and explain my next course of action to them."

I feel like this is one of your "let's dig for his motivations!" moments. -.-

there is nothing wrong with being very old and out of the loop.
72 isn't very old. I expect to hit that one in my 90s. (Over the hill? What hill? I didn't see any hill. And if I am shouldn't this be a downhill run?)

Out of the loop? There are many loops. No one can be in all of them. There are some I don't want to ever be in.
