Trump threatens ‘maximum penalties’ for voter fraud
The Hill ^ | 10/20/18 | TAL AXELROD

Posted on 10/20/2018 6:36:10 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

President Trump warned people found guilty of voter fraud would face “maximum penalties” ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“All levels of government and Law Enforcement are watching carefully for VOTER FRAUD, including during EARLY VOTING. Cheat at your own peril. Violators will be subject to maximum penalties, both civil and criminal!” the president tweeted Saturday night.

Trump has long maintained that voter fraud is a significant issue, while experts have proven that it does not occur on a large scale.

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” Trump tweeted after the election in 2016. The president offered no evidence for that claim.

Trump convened the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity in May 2017, headed by conservative firebrand Kris Kobach, who is now the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Kansas.

The commission was disbanded in January after privacy concerns surfaced over its requests for personal information on voters and it was unable to prove a large number of illegal votes were cast.

We need an army to follow any buses crossing state lines, and to record every person who goes into a polling place from a bus. See how many people go to more than one polling place. And the. Prosecute anybody who votes twice, but hammer the F out of anybody traced to hiring the bus

Did anyone read further into the article to see if they actually identified their experts?

“while experts have proven that it does not occur on a large scale.”

Asinine assertion. Define “experts”. Define “proven”. Define “large scale”.

How can you “prove” something you haven’t looked for?

Whenever there is voter fraud presented, a few days later an article or talking head pops up saying there is no evidence.

California is the prototype for voter fraud thanks to the Marxist RATs and Moonbeam, IMO.

Why not a voter ID with photo to vote once, legally, for each legal citizen? That’s controversial?!!

Yeah, racist.

Like a cop asking for a photo driver’s license? A druggist saying they need your photo DL or state ID for certain prescriptions to be filled. Getting a senior bus discount card ( the drivers say to me, let me have a look at your face, I joke does anyone really pretend to be me? They sternly still insist or no ride. “People do fake them, sir.”

I could vote 6 times though, I guess. Call myself Edwardo Miguel Herendezeo or Mahammad Al Fariq at 2 precincts. No ID needed. Fun to vote.

I believe illegal immigration is more about maintaining the number of Representatives and electoral votes by inflating the census head count...

Purge all illegals before the census, require proof of legal residency/status before being counted and adjust the number of Representatives and electoral votes to reflect REALITY....
