Stephen Miller’s bushels of Pinocchios for false voter-fraud claims (Fake News projection alert!)
The Washington Compost ^ | 2017-02-12 | Glenn Kessler

Posted on 02/12/2017 12:13:03 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller appeared on ABC’s “The Week” on Sunday, spouting a bunch of false talking points on alleged voter fraud. (He also repeated similar claims on other Sunday talk shows.) To his credit, host George Stephanopoulus repeatedly challenged Miller, noting that he had provided no evidence to support his claims. But Miller charged ahead, using the word “fact” three times in a vain effort to bolster his position.

Here’s a guide through the back and forth.

“No evidence”?

Hey Commies, you didn’t notice the Detroit precinct numbers during that failed recount?

Idiots

I guess I am too stupid to know why some Philadelphia precincts for years have had 103 - 113% Democratic turn out and ZERO votes for a Republican.

Let’s see....they claim there is no evidence of voter fraud but when Trump suggest a study to investigate they don’t want to fund it.

Wonder why the Establishmedia wants to dismiss voter fraud? Everyone knows it exists, it is just a question of numbers?

Pray America woke

It sure seems to me that the Soros/DNC/media alt-left axis sure is getting their panties in a wad over what they say is a non-existent problem. If it is such a non-problem, they should be encouraging an investigation to prove themselves right. What the real problem is, they know there is significant voter fraud out there, they don’t know how much, because no one does, and they know that the overwhelming majority of the fraud favors the democrats. Let’s say Trump does order a full-fledged investigation and finds that 2 MILLION illegals voted, numerous dead people voted, and others voted twice or more, even if it doesn’t reach the 3 MILLION or more range, it is still a lot of American votes being cancelled out by illegal voting. Most people would say that is a problem.

A state rep in California’s legislature just admitted that he and many members of his family are illegal aliens that use false identification. And I bet they all vote.

Much of the fraud is in the registration process.

If all these voter fraud claims are fake, then why are the Dems so scared of having an investigation? Wouldn’t it just prove their point & give them more ammunition against Trump?

Or maybe there is rampant voter fraud, like the illegal alien woman who was caught voting 5 times. I suspect there are at least 3 million like her out there.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261379414000973:

Our exploration of non-citizen voting in the 2008 presidential election found that most non-citizens did not register or vote in 2008, but some did. The proportion of non-citizens who voted was less than fifteen percent, but significantly greater than zero. Similarly in 2010 we found that more than three percent of non-citizens reported voting.

These results speak to both sides of the debate concerning non-citizen enfranchisement. They support the claims made by some anti-immigration organizations that non-citizens participate in U.S. elections. In addition, the analysis suggests that non-citizens’ votes have changed significant election outcomes including the assignment of North Carolina’s 2008 electoral votes, and the pivotal Minnesota Senate victory of Democrat Al Franken in 2008.

Saw this fellow on TV for the first time today. Very impressive.

Excellent Catherine Engelbrecht video on how vote fraud is built into our system:

WaPo and NYT will still be decrying the lies about vote fraud while judges all over the country are sentencing thousands of fraudulent voters. If it is done skillfully the prosecutions will require far more prison space than is currently available, at least in our genteel prison system.

To his credit, lovely. The MSM is going to discredit any assertion of voter fraud because it’s everything. Without it the Rats have virtually no chance of regaining power.

Oh, come now. You know the Democrat candidates are just that popular, they must be voted for twice. Like eating more than one Lay's potato chip: Irresistible!

George Stephanopoulus was good at asking the “isn’t it true questions”

Rosa Maria Ortega, an illegal, sentenced to 8 years for voting in Texas. Google it, Georgie!

I like how this is playing out. Let the left go all the way out on the branch before it gets sawed off.

There seems to be more evidence of voter fraud than Russian hacking.

Maybe we should look at both in the same investigation.

Let’s see whose carpet has more dirt under it.

This is the Kessler who passed along the lie that Pres. Trump’s father made racist comments when running for mayor of NYC in 1969....but none of it is true. Kessler is a lying “fact checker” paid by the Washington Post. Shameful.
