In the 2016 presidential election, one candidate is warning about voter fraud, while another proclaims Russians are interfering. It’s not the first time contenders have alleged some form of a “rigged” election.
Tuesday in the Rose Garden, President Barack Obama dismissed concerns of fraud.
“I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections process before votes have even taken place. It’s unprecedented,” Obama said.
“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they are so decentralized and the number of votes that are cast,” the president added. “There is no evidence that has happened in the past, or instances that will happen this year.”
While such complaints have been rare before votes were cast, they were very prominent in certain presidential elections, as was evidence that votes weren’t always counted properly.

1800: John Adams vs. Thomas Jefferson/Thomas Jefferson vs. Aaron Burr
But don’t anyone dare say, utter or think the election is somehow “rigged.”
[It is not the first time contenders have alleged some form of a “rigged” election.]
ALLEGED? It is a proven fact.
The Russians didn’t write the emails. My guess still is that Russia is not behind it. They have some leakers.
Never has a presidential candidate ever claimed one side is trying to suppress the vote. Never ever. Oh wait only every presidential election. So how is that different?
The Russians are interfering in elections that can’t be rigged...
All in one breath.
Watched Owebowmao on CNN today - well, I couldnt help it - and to quote:
Our elections are not rigged, but if they are, the Russians did it.
yep
that’s why the bendover bathhouse towel boy met 40 times with a felon who was running the democratic party election fraud unit... and is married to a democrat congresswoman
if his blue lips are moving
..... he lying......
If you go back a few years I looked into the natiionwide counnty-by-county vote. You can flip a presidential election by changing 6-10 counties from the 90-95% democrat vote that existed to a 55-45 split (either way) that exists in almost every other county. The Republican doesn’t have to win Detroit, Chicago San Francisco, Philadelphia, etc. He just has to get 40% of the vote in that county and he would flip the state.
Someone might want to tell Samuel Tilden that elections aren’t rigged. Even pro-Hayes scholars agree the election might have been stolen.
Sarah Palin’s emails were hacked, and gone over with a fine-toothed comb in a media/crowdsourced effort. Result: nada. Gov. Palin just did her job as if God were watching.Hillary? Not so much.
Once again Obambi showing his ignorance.
Has anyone heard that the dems are asking Trump to sign a pledge that he’ll accept the election results and not contest Them?
