So now conservatives are trying desperately to find an answer to the question that's been bugging them since the 2016 Presidential election: "Just how in the hell did Hillary Clinton get 3 million more votes than their messiah?" They can't come up with anything that can be substantiated so they suddenly "find" 3 million ghost voters dredged up by some ultra right-wing think tank organization. I guess it makes them able to sleep better at night.

You cherry picked what I said. You can probably find examples of improper voting in any election you examine, but while there may be enough to impact a local race, there hasn’t been a scintilla of evidence produced that these cases are of the magnitude that would significantly impact state or national elections.

You’re looking at molehills and seeing the Rockies.

Or, for that matter, moved. But it sure makes for great headlines.

If you are not positively identifying voters there is no way to determine what the extent of fraud is. You can't for example tell a cop not to watch a stop sign and then declare no one went through the stop sign because no tickets were issued.

119 over a decade? That's like, literally, close to 12 per year. A whole dozen!

Seriously Drob, that's some weak sauce.

When I voted for the election in 2016, I was required to show ID. Turns out, the reason for that was because even though I had registered when I got my d/l after getting to this horrific state, the information was not passed on. I had to start my registration all over again, hence why I had to show my ID.

This past June, I voted again. They asked my name, looked for it on the sheets that they had, and when I asked, as I was taking out my ID to show them, "Do I need to show my ID", they replied that I did not need to show it.

So how do "dead people" vote? It's not the dead that actually vote, and the ones who are implying it and joking about that are doing the typical stupid dance that they always do when the truth is a little too close for their comfort.

It would be VERY easy to go in to a polling place, give a name, and then vote as that person as the polling places (in CA for sure, and other states), do not require any type of identification whatsoever.

The people at the polling place are volunteers. The people this past June were not the same people that were there in November 2016, so they had no idea if I was who I said I was, but that didn't appear to be a problem for them whatsoever.

If you have a grandparent, a parent, a sibling, an aunt, a friend, whatever that has passed on, you know where they lived, you can easily find the polling place near where they lived, and you can waltz on in there, claim that you are that person and vote in their name. Then you can go back home, go to your local polling place, and vote in your name.

The fact that people actually believe a) no one has ever thought do that before and b) no one has ever done it before shows how stupid and unacceptably naive some people are.

I could link a whole lot more but you're on the internet, if you truly care about the integrity of our elections, (as the lefties are pretending to care right now because the outcome didn't suit them), you can look this information up for yourself.

So "hyuck, hyuck, hyuck" away, lefties, the fact remains, this has been done in the past, you can bet it's going to continue. Voter ID laws would help stop a lot of this.

Nobody cares about your question. Hillary is not president. The electoral college functioned as it is supposed to.

And the question is not difficult to answer - California. Even if you take out the 1.7 million ghost votes, she still wins the state and the popular vote.

We do need to clean up the system.

Republicans have investigated these claims for years and can find nothing to support the claims of fraudulent votes.

Yes voting lists tend to have may people who don't vote on it.

Remember when there was the report of folks in Trump's campaign being registered in two states. I checked and found I was listed in two states.

We moved -- my name never got off the original voting list.
People die and don't get removed.
Some people are listed twice.

I never voted in Georgia and in South Carolina. Neither did those Trump campaign workers....or family (can't remember exactly who it was).

This is why no one should believe this ridiculous campaign by the Democrats that there aren't enough people registered. Our voter rolls are overflowing. There are more registered voters than citizens in this country. What we actually need to do is to clean up our voters rolls. Does anyone actually believe that illegal aliens are not voting? Of course they are.
