Obama: Reports of voter fraud are 'fake news'
The Hill ^ | January 18, 2017

Posted on 01/19/2017 11:11:17 AM PST by SMGFan

President Obama on Wednesday talked about the importance of voting rights, dismissing the idea of large-scale voter fraud as "fake news."   "This whole notion of voting fraud — this is something that has constantly been disproved," Obama said during the final press conference of his presidency.

"This is fake news — the notion that there are a whole bunch of people out there who are going out there and are not eligible to vote and want to vote."   Instead, Obama said, the country has the opposite problem: There are a lot of people in the country who are eligible to vote but don't cast their ballots.

But the idea that the Russians were hacking voting machines that are not connected to the internet isn’t?

Too late - the door is cracked open and people are asking questions. They won’t be scared away when you call them racists, this time.

Anything the Fraud says that starts with “This whole notion...” is always the biggest of his lies.

Closely followed in second place by his statements that end in “...I promise you”.

Vote fraud, which we have documented examples of, is fake news, but the Russians hacking the election, which is so far unsubstantiated, is real news. uh huh.

“Obama: Reports of voter fraud are ‘fake news’”

Except where they are not. Like the many stories of large numbers of absentee ballots going to one vacant address, or the 4-5 million illegals that voted, or the dead voters, or precincts that had 115% voter turn out.

You may argue that it was not enough to sway the election,.........this time. To say it is fake news is just absolute F’ing BullSh!t.

21 1/2 hours can't come soon enough! MAGA!!!!!!
