FEC Chair Says Trump ‘Undermines Democracy’ With Voter Fraud Claims
dailycaller.com ^ | 8/19/2019 | Virginia Kruta

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.

Can someone notify Stacey Abrams...please...cuz she was saying the exact opposite for months after the GA Gov race. I don’t believe she had conceded yet (or did I miss it?)

Interesting that they start name calling and getting nasty. It is as if they are hiding something.

If she is honest, she should ask Trump to prove his accusations.... which would be the green light for Trump to investigate the inconsistencies. But they don’t want that.

I think that they know that there are or might be irregularities and don’t want an investigation that might prove them wrong. Then people would start demanding better accounting and maybe even voter id.

Has she equally condemned Hillary for saying the Russians stole our election and minorities were denied the right to vote for any reason that republicans felt like?

Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub undermines Democracy with failure to implement Voter ID.

Ellen Weintraub?

The original Red Diaper Baby?

She’s in charge of the FEC?

Like having Genrikh Yagoda or Lev Bronstein there.

Holy smoke do what it takes to get that Rat stooge removed. No wonder nothing was done about the grand theft that was done in 18.

"“There is no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2016,” Weintraub told CNN host John Berman."

Chairperson Ellen Weintraub interestingly did not say, “There is no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2016.”

And if documented 2018 vote-processing concerns in Florida's Broward County are a typical example of predictable Democratic ballot box manipulation, then there is rampant voting fraud going on imo.

Fraudulently documented foreigners voting in our elections is the greatest threat to our Republic.

The question might be, “How many countries DO NOT have voter ID?” All the ex-pats and posters from other countries are somewhat puzzled that we do not.

According to the FEC web site, there are two repubs, one dem, and one independent currently seated on the FEC board. Two vacancies at the moment. No more than three from any one party are allowed. I have no idea how the chair of the board is selected but currently its the dem.

"Weintraub's term ended April 30, 2007, but she continues in office until her successor takes office.[16][17] She is not eligible for reappointment."

Why can't we get rid of the bitch?

I'm thinking:

a) President Trump should be getting two appointments since this is supposed to be a six person board and two are vacant....WTF, over!!!!

b) This wing nut has been chair since 2013 (six year term) isn't it time for her to rotate?

Too many questions here...It is time (literally) for her to go.

But I guess she is going to create some dust right before she goes to make it appear that Trump canned her and the media will carry that water willing for sure.

What am I missing?!?

Fraudulent voting and/or voting by non-citizen foreigners delegitimizes democracy. So does that fact that voting on who shall rule can only ever result in rule by the best manipulators, deceivers, propagandists, and gaslighters.

that a failure to accept the results of free and fair elections “undermines our democracy.”

Just like Hillary did and still does.

Only 3 from any single party allowed so with two “repubs” currently seated, Trump can nominate only one more. He should do that and also a conservative independent. I have no idea why the chair is held by the one dem.
