"It would have made no difference to the outcome."


When this is the response to allegations of election fraud - that the fraud simply wasn't "big enough" to change the outcome, when they're not willing to do anything to remedy the fact that over 100,000 people were disenfranchised - in just one state, mind you - that says it all.

You can't have it both ways. If you are going to keep a running total then you need to count the disenfranchised/stolen ones as well! All votes matter. Funny thing is that one group doesn't feel that way. Guess it has to be their stolen vote before it matters.

They know it, I know it, you know it. They just want their favorite team to win and damn the nation.

No one knows who would have voted for who or how many (not everyone votes in primaries).

It. Was. Wrong. Bernie, Hillary, Trump, Captain Kangaroo -- election fraud is WRONG.

There is an investigation and 2 people, IIRC, have been suspended. What more do you want?

9. There is no way to know the extent of election fraud when voting on these machines.

There is no transparency. There is no way to verify many of these results. Thus, there is no democracy.

They can keep saying that, but with our system they look like fools. We can't know.
