2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why not more discussion of Greg Palast's compelling case that GOP stole 2016 election? [View all]
https://soundcloud.com/davidcnswanson/talk-nation-radio-greg-palast-on-stripping-7-million-voters-from-rolls-swinging-electionthe seven million disqualified votes includes hundreds of thousands of voters in the 3 key swing states where there is a recount push
these states are particularly intense venues of these cheating schemes as they are Republican-controlled and key swing states
the exit polls (used by US in gauging honesty of OTHER countries' elections) showed Hillary leading -- the difference is those many many voters who were disqualified -- if the past is any guide, only a tiny fraction of those disqualified, as in Florida 2000 (where there was a HIGHER percentage legit than usual), were legitimately disqualified
so now the 2000 election, 2004 and 2016 have been stolen
the idea that if the GOP gets close enough to stealing an election that it is normally possible (with heavier and heavier thumbs on the scale) to steal it, then they get to do so, with a minimum of fuss being made
and obviously things will only get MUCH worse now in terms of honest voting

OP
What many don't seem to understand or acknowledge is that it isn't a binary choice.

Newsflash: What you describe of repug operations is cheating. I don't care if they legalized it.

You don't think that voter suppression is intended to disproportionately disenfranchise Democrats?

This is a problem. Those who won't trust Palast should at least Google "Kris Kobach" & "Cross Check"
