Analysis: Rigged election claims may leave lasting damage
Associated Press ^ | Oct 15, 2016 7:40 PM EDT | Julie Pace

Donald Trump keeps peddling the notion the vote may be rigged. It’s not clear if he does not understand the potential damage of his words — or he simply does not care.

Trump’s claim — made without evidence — undercuts the essence of American democracy, the idea that U.S. elections are both free and fair, with the vanquished peacefully stepping aside for the victor. His repeated assertions are sowing suspicion among his most ardent supporters, raising the possibility that millions of people may not accept the results on Nov. 8 if Trump does not win.

The responsibilities for the New York billionaire in such a scenario are minimal. Trump holds no public office and has said he’ll simply go back to his “very good way of life” if he loses.

Instead, it would be Democrat Hillary Clinton and congressional Republicans, should they win, who would be left trying to govern in a country divided not just by ideology, but also the legitimacy of the presidency. …

The AP is a party in the rigging. It has chosen a side and its writers construct their stories in a manner to compliment the company democrat candidate.

Indeed, it would be people like Julie Pace who refused to investigate voter fraud that leaves the legitimacy of the presidency in such a sordid question. It’s not clear if she does not understand the potential damage of her neglect to do her job — or she simply does not care.

Fitting comment regarding an Associated Presstitute projectionist.

The rigged election that left lasting damage was in 2012.

of greater import to america is the loss, the total loss, of a free press.

We have no press now. we have a massive propaganda institution of which the AP is bought lock stock and barrel

To resolve the situation there must be war and lots of dead presstitutes

I wonder how she’d react upon reading her own words used against her like that.

What I have been saying for months. Who wins the election does not matter. We won’t accept an attempt by Hillary to steal it and the Rats can not afford to let Trump win. Now what matters, who wins the WAR AFTER the election. THAT is gonna matter.

BEST ELECTION EVER. EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE. EVERYONE IS ALL IN. Like it or not.

Because of what she and her fellow Rat enablers have done there may just be a day in her future where she shudders to hear her own words read back to her. And an old woman will observer grimly while she crotchets a shawl...

I noted your original comment because of the wisdom in the observation of her world class hypocrisy and projection, rather than the "subject" of her propaganda piece, honest US elections.

I wonder if she knows how to use a mirror?
