Good.

I'll second that. Good. It speaks volumes that the very first instance of voter fraud uncovered this cycle was executed by a Trump supporter, Iowan and bigoted asshat in her own right, Terri Rote.

These volunteers are there to harass and intimidate and they wouldn't know actual voter fraud if it came up and bit them on the heinie.

Besides, I don't know how these volunteers are going to be able to realistically spot the same person voting twice, since for all intents and purposes, minorities all look alike to them.

It speaks volumes about the Trump campaign that it never occurred to them to try and appeal to minorities aside from a token "just try it... what have you go to lose....?" They'd rather deny minorities votes than make their platform compelling to minority voters.

Proof the only voter fraud being committed is by Republicans as they, once again, try to intimidate with racism and bigotry, and get those who would not vote for them (probably) not to vote.

They are trying to create the illusion of data. These unqualified and untrained "monitors" will report their exit poll data without any verification or supervision. So if Clinton wins by X% and if it doesn't match the exit poll data from their volunteers, then they can claim it was rigged.

And of course the Trump volunteers will be honest and accurate because.

This whole thing reminds me of the Republican invasion in Iraq. They invaded Iraq because of something they falsely perceived to be fact (the existence of WMDs), and in their attempts to prevent a problem that didn't exist, they did a bunch of really bad stuff, and ended up being the bad guys themselves. That's exactly what's happening with these poll monitors. They are going out there because of a false perception that the vote may be rigged, and are going to end up rigging the election themselves.

This is what happens when you base your actions on fear, rather than logic.

It shouldn't just be Democrats, it should be all Americans (with brains) unaffiliated, or Republican. A democracy cannot run when a particular political party's actions completely violate the rights of the citizens to make their own choices. If the Republican's are this desperate that they're willing to completely destroy themselves (Sorry Lincoln, they've gone insane), it shows they have never had the best interests of the nation to begin with. Greed and lust for power and control. That are not what an American political party should stand for.

I just recently read an article (by a conservative) stating that the Republican party has gone completely off course.

Not that they like Hillary, but after looking at the ballot, there are a ton of choices after Trump, and Gary Johnson (Libertarian). Here is a list in case ppl haven't noticed that there are more parties than Democrat and Republican. They're nothing but the most "dominant" parties at the moment.

Darrell L. Castle (American Constitution)/ Jill Stein (Green)/ Frank Atwood (Approval Voting)/ Roque De La Fuente (American Delta)/ James Hedges (Prohibiton)/ Tom Hoefling (America's)/ Chris Keniston (Veterans' of America)/ Alyson Kennedy (Socialist Workers)/ Kyle Kenley Kopitke (Independent American)/ Laurence Kotlikoff (his own party xD)/ Gloria Estela La Riva (Socialism and Liberation)/ Bradford Lyttle (Nonviolent Resistance/Pacifist)/ Joseph Allen Madonado (Independent People)/ Micheal A. Maturen (American Solidarity)/ Evan McMullin - Ryan Alan Scott (Unaffiliated)/ Rod Silva (Nutrition)/ Emidio Sltysik (Socialist USA).

And finally the blank Write in option. I'm almost tempted to request that all citizens of the US should write their own names in to protest against both parties. But the early voters have already cast their ballots and most sane people don't want Trump to win. So we'll probably have to go with the mostly disliked "sane" option.

Columbian rain forests cut down - via Hillary. Congo mining contracts sold to Joe Wilson - via Hillary. RARE Haiti Gold rights given to her brother - via Hillary. Uranium ONE - some $145 MILLION DOLLARS simply appears out of thin air - via Hillary. Ericcson Telecom donates Millions to the Clinton foundation+pays Bill to give speeches and BOOM - Hillary IMMEDIATELY removes sale restrictions on Super hi-teech communications equipment they are selling to IRAN (a terrorist nation) - via Hillary.

No Accident!

ALL FRAUD!

CROOKED HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!

They have, and it's too bad. There was a time when the Republicans were a viable option. Now they've just turned into the extreme option.

"Lawyers for Democrats around the country are filing lawsuits claiming Republicans and the campaign of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump are pushing supporters to intimidate and confront voters"

This is rich, coming from Democrats. WikiLeaks has already proven the Democrats are guilty of voter fraud and intimidation, including injured police officers.

This board with all the unapologetic Clinton supporters is really pathetic. Honesty how anyone could support Clinton at this point is just mind boggling.

Uh oh...

According to a Republican "pollwatch" in Pennsylvania, Trump is ahead there with over 60% of votes cast early.

An interesting statistic, given that there is no early voting in that state....

Well, with all the bad news about Hillary this past week, here's some good news for Hillary!

Whew! ... But... what if Hillary can't find any more women to claim Trump grabbed them or can't get enough voting machines rigged or simply if enough Hillary supporters come to their senses and realize if Hillary is elected, there'll be a constitutional crisis and she'll be so dogged by all her self-made scandals she wo't be able to get anything done...

And Hillary's poll numbers are falling faster than Bill Clinton's pants in an Arkansas trailer park...

In Nevada, not Republican or Trump campaigners are culprits. Self appointed group are disrupting. Seems they need to learn ABC of Nevada's automated voting machine system and refresh arithmetic to learn how to read numbers.

Serrano: Shame on you! Blaming sexually assaulted women when they are the victims, and claiming the election is rigged in favor of the Democrats when clearly it's the Republicans going around and deterring, even with the KKK, minorities from voting. Tsk tsk, Serrano. You got the new handle ready? Remember what your predictions were, my friend!

TBH, if Reb traitors try to intimidate voters at the voting booth, I assume you'll see some lynchings of the Rube cowards. It's amusing they find themselves intimidating

Moderator: The word "Reb" is meaningless in this discussion and therefore renders your post off topic.
