2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSeems there is a petition for checking for voter fraud.
"Investigate the election fraud in the 2016 Democratic Primary Elections. Arrest those responsible. Secure the remaining elections from fraud.
Statistical evidence clearly indicates that the primary wins in Iowa, Nevada, Massachusetts, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio have been stolen!
Statistical evidence clearly indicates fraud in 15 of 16 primaries. Flip a coin 16 times. If it comes up heads 15 times, it is not unreasonable to suspect that there is something wrong with the coin. If in 15 of 16 primaries, Bernie Sanders recorded vote shares were lower than the exit poll vote shares, it is not unreasonable to suspect that there is something wrong in recorded vote shares. To request an investigation of the elections that led to these results is absolutely reasonable.
President Obama: On page 5 of the Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses it is stated that :The federal government asserts jurisdiction over an election offense to ensure that basic rights of United States citizenship, and a fundamental process of representative democracy, remain uncorrupted.
President Obama: The basics rights of United States Citizenship are being violated!
President Obama: The fundamental process of our representative democracy is being corrupted!
President Obama: DO YOUR JOB: Investigate the clear evidence of widespread election fraud in the Democratic primary elections and secure the electoral process in the elections that remain."

(1,732 posts)no way in hell Hillary won Iowa, Nevada and Mass fair and square. Nobody likes her and nobody shows up at her rallies. Common sense should tell you there is fraud. But sheep don't use common sense.

Bkkyosemite, thanks for the thread. Btw, it's "election" fraud.

(960 posts)would have seen the outrage and condemnation by the cheersquad, yet now this is just another...meh..because we don't care about backing a person who has questionable morals and decision making skills. It all fits in the narrative, do whatever you have to do and when you get caught just apologize.

"Voter Fraud" lol Might want to think about that for a moment.

(3,660 posts)Not while she's ahead.
But you'd better believe if she gets the nomination and such discrepancies show up while she's behind they'll be screaming bloody murder.

(19,841 posts)There is a pro-Hillary element that has a vested interest in Bernie vote suppression.
I think everybody knows this is true.

(740 posts)...gonna start calling for voter id laws now? Claims like this are how those laws started on the (R)ight.
People push a lie (coin flip amounts, 'climate-gate' etc.) and then others use that lie to base other things on and it gets ridiculous with an entire 'reality' teetering on top of one lie that somebody made up somewhere.
It's like the internet has taken us back to the dark ages of rumor mongering; so much disinformation and people just om-nom it up like it's a big, juicy cheeseburger.
