In an exclusive interview with Mother Jones, Clinton says Russian interference and GOP voter suppression efforts may have cost her the presidency.
A year after her defeat by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton says there are lots of questions about its legitimacy due to Russian interference and widespread voter suppression efforts.
In an interview with Mother Jones in downtown Manhattan, Clinton said Russian meddling in the election was one of the major contributors to the outcome. The Russians used weaponized false information, she said, in a very successful disinformation campaign that wasnt just influencing votersit was determining the outcome.
Republican efforts to make it harder to votethrough measures such as voter ID laws, shortened early voting periods, and new obstacles to registrationlikewise contributed to the outcome, Clinton said. These moves received far less attention than Russian interference but arguably had a more demonstrable impact on the election result. According to an MIT study, more than 1 million people did not vote in 2016 because they encountered problems registering or at the polls. Clinton lost the election by a total of 78,000 votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
In a couple of places, most notably Wisconsin, I think it had a dramatic impact on the outcome, Clinton said of voter suppression.
Wisconsins new voter ID law required a Wisconsin drivers license or one of several other types of ID to cast a ballot. It blocked or deterred up to 23,000 people from voting in reliably Democratic Milwaukee and Madison, and potentially 45,000 people statewide, according to a University of Wisconsin study. Clinton lost the state by fewer than 23,000 votes. African Americans, who overwhelmingly supported Clinton, were more than three times as likely as whites not to vote because of the law.

And the Enemy Media is lapping it up.
Have a good laugh.
So, the Wisconsin voter ID laws prevented close to 80,000 fraudulent votes from being cast?
Winning!
“Trump is obsessed with me!”
In truth...you were the star money raiser...nothing more.
Exactly.
Such as illegals voting for you then becoming Democrat voters.

HILLARY,

" African Americans, who overwhelmingly supported Clinton, were more than three times as likely as whites not to vote because of the law.
I.D.s are required of every citizen of India
"Democrats, who fear that requiring voters to present photo identification will disenfranchise minorities, students and seniors."......that is hogwash!
With the Clintons, nothing is coincidence.
This is a campaign to de-legitimize Trump’s election, combined with calls that any criminal investigation into them is indicative of partisan, third-world banana republic procedure.
What would cause them to engage this sort of spin? What is it they are expecting?
Also refer to Clinton Ploy #1: Accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty (corollary of Alinsky Rule #2)
P.S. That boot must be getting ripe. I broke a toe once and wore it for 2 days.
Why isn’t this witch in jail? Proves the incompetence of Sessions.
The reality is that she cannot accept the idea that they thought “the fix was in” and that “the election” was all but perfunctory, and she still lost.
They thought they had everything rigged...the Blue Wall, the vote fraud, the felons, the illegals, and it blew up because it was HER,
That’s what is getting her goat.
It's proof that democrats don't think minorities are smart enough to get a voter ID.
Not soft, but outright bigotry.
there are lots of questions about its legitimacy At least there weren’t any questions about Hillary’s legitimacy(or lack of)that I know of.
Didn’t Hillary say that if Trump questioned the legitimacy of the election, he was attacking Democracy itself and endangering the political system of the United States?
HilLIEry—
“There a lot of questions about my sanity”
I share your frustration.
I long for the day when I see that politicians are subject to the same laws that they impose on the rest of us.
Keep in mind this is the second time in recent history they have pulled this vile Act of questioning the legitimacy of our president. Understanding leftist speak, that means they intend to install an illegitimate president.
