Trump Attacks CNN Reporter Over Voter Fraud Claims
POLITICO ^ | November 28, 2016 | By Christiano Lima

Posted on 11/29/2016 4:14:17 AM PST by Fennie

Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter Monday night over a CNN report refuting his unsubstantiated claims of mass voter fraud on Election Day.

The report by CNN senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny, airing on "Anderson Cooper 360" earlier Monday, dismissed Trump's assertion that he "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally" as "blatant and baseless" and accused Trump of acting as a "sore winner." Zeleny also highlighted that the president-elect had yet to provide any "hard evidence" to back up his "staggering claims of fraud."

In response, Trump fired off a series of tweets aimed at CNN and Zeleny, some original and some retweets of his online supporters, including one user who apparently is a teenager.

"CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don't know what to do," the president-elect said.

The recounts are what are actually based on nothing. No proof of anything. like Harry Reid saying a friend told him Romney hadn’t paid taxes in years. Yet, they are championed by CNN and others.
And this after Hillary saying Trump not accepting election results is unAmerican. The rules are always different for democrats. This type of reporting helped Trump win and bonehead liberals don’t realize the fact.
Liberalism is a mental abberation.

Trump says he really won the popular vote, if you take away the fraud — media says: WHERE’S THE PROOF?? NO FRAUD! NO FRAUD!

Stein and Clinton say one of them should really be president, if you take away the fraud — media says: THEY HAVE A GOOD POINT! RECOUNT! RECOUNT!

So transparent.

I have to respectfully disagree with President-elect Trump. CNN or any of the “news” networks are not embarrassed of their support for Hillary or any leftist. They are only mad because they can’t openly kill their opponents.

Without the excess votes for Hillary in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Trump would be close to, if not winning, the popular vote nationwide.

Not sure but it looks like the only state requiring any ID that Hillary won was Colorado. That’s interesting.

Imagine a country of 320,000,000 people with open borders, no voter ID laws, and a leader who advocates that non-citizens vote. Imagine that not one of the millions of illegals attempts to vote.

If you can really believe this stuff you too can get a job writing fake news at Politico.

I think we all know that the fraud is mostly at the registration stage, then a lot of illegal absentee votes harvested by “helpers” of the elderly and challenged. Then there is the multi-state voting problem, which can’t be investigated because Democrat-run states refuse to open records for comparison.

My hope is that Trump’s AG unleashes a serious investigation of voting nd registration fraud that results in prosecutions and legislation to plug the gaps. Crooks will always find loopholes and scams to get their way, but current law invites it. There need to be a national registration system for federal elections, with real mechanisms for ensuring only US citizens can vote in federal elections. Something has to be done to stop the “helper” scams — this is the most difficult problem to address without infringing upon legitimate rights of some.

I live in NC and they ask your name, look you up on voter rolls, have you sign a paper and supposedly match your signature but you are not asked for any sort of ID, not even your voter’s registration card.

Well, New York hasn’t really changed its stripes since the days of Boss Tweed.

Boulder, Denver and little Chicago (Aurora) should be blamed for Colorado going to Illary.

Trump always “goes there”—and knows how to make Liberal head’s explode.

He is still playing them. Like the polar bear and dog video! LOL.

Imagine, demanding he PROVE millions of illegals voted. The never heard the expression, “Be careful what you ask for.”. In 51 days he will be able to do just that. And then deport them.

“........if the Democrats do get their arms around the real politcal world and the overwhelming majority of the American people!!!”....

It’s not going to happen UNTIL a complete purging and disinfecting of the colleges in this country who have so badly brainwashed our youth, the future leaders of our country.

I hope President Trump orders a full scale investigation of voter fraud in the election to include illegals voting, the dead voting, multiple voting, manipulation of the data and voter registration. I have no doubt his claim of widespread fraud will be proven. If he does not do this it will continue to happen.

We have the technology to prevent voter fraud.

We just lack the leadership to apply that technology.

“Here in Virginia (case #1) the Gov added 60,000 felons to the voter rolls”

Her Thighness carried VA by roughly 210,000 votes, so 60,000 felons voting Dem is not insignificant. Are health clinics required to register people to vote? Who funds county health clinics?
