The Big Con has the Chinese rigging the vote for the democrats...

And the democrats have Russia rigging the vote for republicans....

The seeds have been sown for a rigged election....

Chairing a meeting of the U.N. Security Council in New York on Wednesday, President Donald Trump alleged that China has been meddling in November’s midterm elections in an attempt to punish the Republican Party electorally for Trump’s anti-China trade policies.

“They do not want me or us to win because I am the first president ever to challenge China on trade and we are winning on trade, we are winning at every level,” Trump said. “We don’t want them to meddle or interfere in our upcoming election.”

The U.S. may be winning the trade war the Trump administration launched against China this year, in the sense that Trump has more Chinese imports to tax than Beijing has targets for retaliatory tariffs. So far, however, China has not made any of the concessions the administration is demanding, so the president’s declaration of victory may be characteristically premature.
