Early voting data shows World War I veterans overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With over seven million votes cast so far in the U.S. presidential election, early voting data is pointing to a tight race in most key battleground states.

But there is one battleground upon which the Donald Trump campaign appears to be headed towards utter defeat: The fight for votes from World War I veterans.

With at least 25,000 World War I veterans casting their votes thus far, the party affiliation breakdown of submitted ballots is suggesting a hard break towards the Clinton camp among veterans who fought in the Great War from 1914-1918, sources say.

Some 98 percent of ballots cast from the demographic have been from veterans who are registered Democrats.

“This is tremendous news for the Hillary Clinton campaign and for the Democratic Party,” said Donna Brazile, interim chairperson of the Democratic National Committee. “We knew that if we could get a strong turnout among the doughboy demographic, we could win this election.”

Other Democratic Party operatives have been coordinating a strong grassroots campaign to register veterans to vote and ensure their ballots are submitted ahead of voting deadlines.

“I’ve been knocking on doors, searching public records to track people down, all sorts of things to identify vets and ensure their ballots make it to a mailbox,” said Andrew Spieles, a college student at James Madison University who is associated with Young Virginia Democrats. “I’m proud to say that I’ve personally registered sixteen World War I vets to vote in the last two weeks, and all of them have indicated their intention to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Democratic lawmakers expressed their satisfaction with the success of the grassroots operations.

“Winning elections is not about your message as much as it is about voter turnout, so I’m proud of our efforts to get these veterans registered and their votes submitted early,” said Christina ‘Tita’ Ayala, a Connecticut state Representative elected to office on the Democratic ticket. “Vote early and vote often, I always like to say.”

Unfortunately, all World War I veterans we tried to contact declined to comment on the record.

Almost all veterans of the American intervention in Guyana support Clinton as well.

All this proves is that the Democrats infiltrated nursing homes and are filling out ballots for them.

My dad died 12/20/2003. He was the last combat veteran from ww1 in Alabama.
I hope he does not vote for that woman who lies about everything.

He may have been a Democrat, but I can’t see how Sgt. York would have preferred Mrs. Bill this year.

My other Gramps was younger (1912) and a lifelong Teamster/Dem until last Clinton go-around.

Finally looked at Bill’s position on the issues and announced to the family he was voting GOP.

I met a Spanish-American war bet in the 1964 when he was in his 80s. It was interesting to meet a living relic of another time.

To understand you need to factor in the votes of dead WWI vets.

I guess calling them "dead" was sort of a micro-aggression.

This most likely exposes the dead vote voter fraud going on to elect Hillary.

I'm not sure WWI vets would recognize a microaggression, after the Jerries got done macroaggressing them.

LOL! True. I guess being strafed with a maxim machine gun or bombed with mustard gas is kind of a macro-aggression.

I’m sure that Civil War Vets will do the same, in greater numbers.

The ‘original’ Daughters of the Revolution are also coming out in droves to support Hillary. The Democrats will leave no headstone un-turned, thus their motto... Vote early, vote often and vote from the grave.
