PANTSUIT ON FIRE: PolitiFact Debunks Hillary’s Voter Suppression Lies
Liberty Headlines ^ | September 21, 2019 | Joshua Paladino

Clinton learned the inaccurate figure from a partisan voter suppression analysis…

(Joshua Paladino, Liberty Headlines) Hillary Clinton continued her excuses tour on Sept. 17, claiming that she lost the 2016 presidential election due to “voter suppression,” but PolitiFact Wisconsin struck down her claim, rating it “mostly false.”

“The best estimate is that 200,000 people in Wisconsin were either denied or chilled in their efforts to vote,” Clinton said without evidence. “I don’t think we believed at the time, before the election, that it would be anything like that, anything as big as that.”

Clinton learned the inaccurate figure from a partisan voter suppression analysis conducted by Priorities USA Action, a PAC “that supported Clinton and Barack Obama,” PolitiFact reported.

Wisconsin passed a law that requires citizens to present photo identification before voting, and the law took effect in time for the 2016 elections.

Priorities USA Action’s report found that voter turnout between the 2012 and 2016 elections “increased 1.3 percent in states in which there was no change to voter ID laws, but decreased 3.3 percent in Wisconsin.”

PolitiFact said the report attributes the fall in voter turnout solely to the voter ID law, whereas a “lack of enthusiasm for Clinton or Trump, or perhaps a belief that Trump couldn’t win Wisconsin” could have contributed to the decline.

Years ago I went to see an exhibit of First Lady’s gowns at the Jimmy Carter Library. I saw Laura Bush’s beautiful white suit she wore for the Inauguration and other lovely gowns. And surrounded by these beautiful dresses was Hillary’s black pants suit. It looked well-worn, somewhat threadbare, and truly ugly.

The net of her claim: People who would have voted for me are too lazy or stupid to acquire valid ID. Not bad enough she called us “deplorables”, now she’s insulting her own supporters.

The DNC is up to something. No way would they put so many losers on stage. I’ve said for a while they’re truly out to hand Trump the win on a silver platter.
