FEC Chair Says Trump ‘Undermines Democracy’ With Voter Fraud Claims

Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub argued Monday that a failure to accept the results of free and fair elections “undermines our democracy.”

“There is no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2016,” Weintraub told CNN host John Berman. “To be suggesting to people that if the candidate they choose doesn’t win, that it’s because of fraud, that undermines our democracy.”

Weintraub was pushing back against President Donald Trump’s repeated accusations of voter fraud that he has claimed may have cost him a greater margin of victory in 2016.

From bio: 'Weintraub is married to Bill Dauster, former director of policy for Senator Chris Van Hollen and former legislative director for Senator Russ Feingold.'

Another shill for the casino.

I mean fire HER for that statement.

She should agree 100% that the security of our elections is paramount and NOT dismiss his concerns about vote fraud as politics.

Dumbass.

FIRE HER PARTISAN ASS

So, Chairwoman Weintraub, does that criticism also apply to Stacey Abrams?

CLAIMS of voter fraud undermine democracy?

How about VOTER FRAUD undermines democracy?

Every case of voter fraud steals and cancels a legitimate vote.

The penalties should be so severe that anyone caught *has* to receive a mandatory prison term.
