They increased the numbers Mitt Romney got after election night in 2012.

The military absentee ballots are still yet to be counted.

It’s almost like since they can’t steal it they will steal a sound victory.

I like the system the way it is. However, if they changed it to popular votes, they would just change the way that they campaign. Trump would have still won.

Saw a story today that 10% of the 10-20 million illegal aliens voted.

First, I think the number is upwards of 30 million last I heard. If illegals wouldn't have voted, Trump would have won the popular vote.

We have two years to fix all these voting scams. First, if you're illegal, you can Not vote. Period.

Valid driver's license to vote and somehow citizenship papers if requested.

The majority of the voters cast a vote against Hillary with around 52% voting in favor of someone else.

In 1992 it was even worse. Bill had 57% of the electorate vote against him and he owes his success to the Electoral College just like Trump. If they had assigned electoral votes proportionately, Bill would have received 231, well short of the 270 needed to win.

How many of those voters were illegal . . . or dead?

Or, multiple time voters?

Each state get rid of the dead people on the rolls. Also, there has to be a computer program that can somehow get the in state and cross state lines duplicates off the roles. A major project, but we have two years to get it done. Is this legally up to each state or can Congress vote on this?

"Voting Reclamation Act" or some such?

Birth Certificate
Social Sec #
Drivers License
Passport
INS naturalization certificate
1040 Tax return

Voter registration should require one or more of the above.

Or for an even better analogy, they would argue that the New York Yankees should have won the World Series in 1960. They scored more runs than the Pirates did over the seven games, so why should the Pirates have been declared the winners, other than the pesky fact that the Pirates won 4 of the 7 games, that is.

BT: I am sure there are other examples like this, but as a Pirates fan and given the economic state of MLB, I find it nice to point to an example where the Pirates beat the poster boys of large-market, free-spending teams. It likely won’t happen again, at least in my lifetime.

They took away all of our polling stations in WA, and forced us to vote by mail. I still think it is illegal

Good point. Candidates would not ignore states like CA, NY and TX as they do now. Of course all those ad buys in NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, and Houston would cost major dollars. I thought the moonbats said too much money in politics is a bad thing. How much more fundraising would they need to do in a popular vote campaign?

Totally agree. We can't get on a plane without our driver's license and we can vote without one?

I like the birth certificate one. Zero wouldn't have been able to vote. : ) Someone said he didn't have a passport until he was a Senator. .

Re: “The military absentee ballots are still yet to be counted.”

True, and I did not factor that in.

However, California and Washington have close to 5 million uncounted votes, and Trump is getting just 33% and 38% in those two states.

Plus, the military is not as Conservative as you might think.

Officers vote heavily Republican.

But enlisted personnel vote close to 50-50.

It's really like 30-40 million illegals.

The version I read was 13% of 20-40 million. But either way it pisses me off that my vote is diluted by people that are no eligible to vote.

Varies by branch and career length. Marine Corps junior enlisted are roughly 60-40. NCO's and Staff NCO's 80-20. Senior NCO's 95-5.

New Hampshire - The importance of illegals Not voting is relevant with the NH results. As of today, 100% in, and Hillary won by only 2,528 votes. I don't know if they're still counting or not at this moment. How many of the total were illegals?

From NYT New Hampshire Results
