Feels like the US is reliving the history of pre Nazi Germany. By claiming fraud even before there is vote is absurd and dangerous. Trump and the GOP are setting up a scenario that can create chaos in uncertainty in this election cycle. They are so desperate to win they with to brazenly violate voters civil rights who would not vote for them.
The plan to create hysteria, rage and confusion is dangerous to our election process. And it should not be tolerated.

First, they're completely disorganized. The kind of voter interference that Donald Trump is hinting at would require a significant political machine. He doesn't have that.
Second, as President Obama said a couple of weeks ago, what does "voter fraud" even mean? Statistically, there is zero evidence of voter fraud influencing the outcome of the elections in the United States. (For clarity, the only voter fraud in my 58 years occurred in 2000 and was committed by the Supreme Court.)
Third, I have a nagging unscientific suspicion that far too many of Donald Trump's supporters aren't registered voters. Too many of them are just plain dumb.
Certainly, Donal;d Trump is an idiot.
