I don't know what else people expected. I'm confounded about this election and its BS. Ole joe will win, pretty sure of it. It seems apparent that some/most people just don't pay attention. Now I hope they get the government they voted for ASAP.
I thought I was sure that Trump would win by a far greater margin than before in 2016.
I believe the fraud in this election is overwhelming, so overwhelming that joe will win.
I would suggest that the fraud in this election has not been widespread, same as every previous election. No doubt it wasn't perfect, they never are.
I suggest folks go back and look how long trump has been screaming voter fraud. trump has a record of attempting to spoil the waters in advance to help make things come out his way. It served him well as a private person, but has failed him numerous times in public office. I think this is just another time it has failed him.
34 failed court cases claiming voter fraud.
Look at the 2016 election. He started false claims of voter fraud in 2015. He claimed that MILLIONS of votes in the 2016 election had been illegibly cast. He also claimed people that had died 10 years ago are still voting. He claimed "illegal immigrants are voting"
After the 2016 election, members of his own party basically said trump is full of it when he makes theses unsupported claims of voter fraud.
Here are a few examples:
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), in response to Trump’s claims that millions of individuals illegally voted, said: “I’ve seen no evidence to that effect. I’ve made that very, very clear...”
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said: “… I am begging the president, share with us the information you have about this or please stop saying it… As a matter of fact, I’d like you do more than stop saying it, I’d like you to come forward and say, ‘Having looked at it, I am confident the election was fair and accurate and people who voted voted legally.’ Cause if he doesn’t do that, this is going to undermine his ability to govern this country.” He added: “I would urge the president to knock this off; this is the greatest democracy on earth, we’re the leader of the free world, and people are going to start doubting you as a person if you keep making accusations against our electoral system without justification...”
Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), in response to Trump’s claims, said: “That doesn't do anybody any good. That doesn't help him. That doesn't help any of us...”
Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said: “I don't see the evidence [of election fraud].”
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) said: “There's no evidence of [voter fraud] and I think that those who allege that have to come up with some substantiation of the claim...”
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, said: “I have no evidence whatsoever, and I don't know that anyone does, that there were that many illegal people who voted…”
Senator John Thune (R-SD), on the topic of voter fraud, said: “I haven't seen evidence to that effect.”
Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Trump’s claim of mass voter fraud “undermines the idea of an election.”
President of the New Hampshire Senate Chuck Morse, a Republican, said: “I have been assured by the secretary of state that our elections are good and clean.”
In addition, election officials have also pushed back against this claim:
U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Matthew Masterson, a Republican, when asked if he thought the 2016 election was rigged, said: “No. The process had integrity. It was extremely well administered. And in the end, the people’s voice was heard and the process served voters well.” He added: We are] not aware of documented findings of illegal immigrants or non-citizens voting in Florida during the 2016 General Election. We have several safeguards in place to prevent elections fraud.”
Wanda Murren, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State, in an email: “We have no evidence at all of voter fraud. There is no evidence that undocumented immigrants voted in November.”
Nikki Charlson, Maryland State Board of Elections Deputy Administrator, said: “In Maryland we have had no coordinated effort to impact the outcome of the election...”
Erv Switzer, Chairman of the Saint Louis Board of Elections Commissioners, said: “We had absolutely no indication there were any fraudulent votes cast on November 8th and no indication of any fraudulent votes cast in any general election for a number of years.”
David Dove, chief of staff to Georgia’s Secretary of State, said: “We haven’t had illegal votes in Georgia...”
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman wrote in a letter to Congress: “We did not receive a single substantiated claim of voter fraud… The lack of such complaints made directly to my office, as well as the absence of referrals from other agencies, leads me to conclude that voter fraud — the act of an ineligible individual casting a vote in an election—is a non-issue, at least in New York State.”
The National Association of Secretaries of State, in a press release, stated: “We are not aware of any evidence that supports the voter fraud claims made by President Trump… In the lead up to the November 2016 election, secretaries of state expressed their confidence in the systemic integrity of our election process as a bipartisan group, and they stand behind that statement today.”
Even before Trump took office, officials contested his claim that the election was "rigged:"
Deputy House Majority Whip Tom Cole (R-OK), former Oklahoma Secretary of State, said: the results] just as I’ve trusted them in the past… I don’t have a problem… I say let’s govern… The election to me is over.”
