Funny how democrats could care less about voter fraud until it happens to THEM

...

It’s the same party that wants to do away with the Electoral College, but uses superdelegates to anoint its preferred crook.

THIS IS HOW AL FRANKEN STEIN WON HIS SENATE SEAT IN WISCONSIN. MILWAUKEE HELD OUT A BALLOT BOX OR TWO TIL THE VOTES WERE IN.

OR WAS IT MINNESOTA AND ST PAUL?

I AM SLIPPING BUT IT MAKES NO MATTER.

“Funny how democrats could care less about voter fraud until it happens to THEM”

Worse, they insist it doesn’t exist until it happens to them and then once it’s addressed they go back to believing it doesn’t exist. It’s like they live in a completely different world.

This STORY has two MUST SEE Alison Lundergan Grimes videos. In the first one she declares that Hillary has one despite the screen showing 20% of the vote yet to be counted and the second video shows Grimes declaring that supporting Hillary is MORE important than her SOS jobs of overseeing the election in Kentucky. Completely UNPROFESSIONAL.

Since Hillary cheerleader ALISON LUNDERGAN GRIMES has destroyed her credibility, shouldn’t an outside NEUTRAL observer conduct the recanvass?

1. find the 4000 Bernie votes Hillary had stolen and subtracted off the totals
2. check the obituary notices for the last 50 years and purge their votes for Hillary
3. check those “malfuntioning” voting machines
4. toss out all votes for Hillary cast by illegal aliens
5. buy some good strong body armor, Hillary will send her goon squad after ya Bernie

This is HUGE. Bernie led all night long until the very end. It certainly seems like hijinks was going on. I'm sick and tired of the Democrats pulling the same crap - having certain precincts in close elections "hold out" until the end of the night, so that the amount of needed votes can be determined and then manufactured.

Glad they are finally being called out on it. By one of their own no less.

If anything, this will make it more difficult to pull off going forward as people are going to be paying more attention.

To finish my thought...if Kentucky is overturned and given to Sanders, then he will have won 12 of the past 14 contests heading into the final June primaries. It doesn’t make a big difference delegate-wise but if he goes on to win big in California, those super delegates currently committed to Crooked Hillary are going to have to second guess themselves.

I think it’s a very good idea to call for a recount. It was far too close for comfort and Grimes was a Hillary supporter.

this is from memory - but I think Hillary got 28 delegates and Bernie got 27.
So, while a recount in Bernie’s favor won’t do much - if anything to the delegate count, it will be another win for Bernie in a state Hillary won from Obama in a landslide in the last primary.
And it’s one more count against her as a liar and a cheat.

Also from memory, Bernie beat her by double digits in West Virginia but only got 18 delegates to her 19 after super delegates were factored in.

An overturn in Kentucky just adds to the narrative that the system is rigged in Crooked Hillary's favor.

Those 4000 votes that disapeared was in a county that Bernie was beating Hillary by over a 2:1 ratio.

Hillary was forced to return $200,000 of the things she stole from the White House?

Betcha she stole $1,000,000 worth of stuff and got the better end of the deal.

he needs Joseph Stalin to come back and rig it for him. After all, didn't Stalin say "it matters who counts the votes?"
