Donald Trump is playing with fire.
The Republican presidential nominee's claim that the election is being rigged against him represents the most outlandish moment yet in a campaign devoted to dismantling political norms.

Should he lose, it threatens the legitimacy of those left to govern after the most anarchic election in modern history.

His accusations alone, experts say, could inflict long-standing damage on the US political system itself by eroding trust in the probity of the electoral process.

If they have whole networks of people devoted to fomenting unrest and conflict at political rallies (as the recently released Veritas tapes indicate), there is no reason to believe they don’t have parallel networks working to undermine or rig the votes.
It’s entirely possible and even likely given what we have seen of their ends-justify-the-means worldview. Rigging the vote, would be a no-brainer for persons with this outlook. Why wouldn’t you do it if you could?
I don’t see a lot of respect for the voting process from the Democratic side, and a lot of disdain for ordinary citizens. Even on the Republican side I see too much talk about this or that group of people shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
The new “media meme” is ‘talk of rigged election by Trump is DANGEROUS’. Rush played one of his compilations of all the media saying ‘dangerous’ in this context .... they all have obviously gotten the Clinton memo.
And the corrupt left, destroying the Constitution is not a problem, right?
It will be once Hillary dismantles the Constitution, as is her plan.
“Dangerous” is the new “Risky Scheme”.
You don’t have to rig votes to rig an election. Vast media bias and propaganda does it just as well.
The overthrow is here right now and the only thing the elites are worried about is their being tossed aside and punished.
Yeah - dangerous to CNN & the rest of the media slime merchants status.
These liberal sociopaths believe the end justifies the means, so all forms of vote fraud are allowed as long as it helps their candidate get elected.
The Ds have had decades to help cleanup voter roles and get IDs to all eligible voters. Instead, they have fought those efforts every step of the way. They are the ones to blame for a system that can’t be trusted.
It will be once Hillary dismantles the Constitution, as is her plan.
That’s funny how the rats have totally forgotten their “Stolen Election” hysteria from 2000.
It’s not “dangerous” to the good guys....
Yes, that’s it. It’s not the RIGGED SYSTEM that is the problem. It’s TALKING about the RIGGED SYSTEM that is the problem.
Typical of the Socialists at CNN.
CNN can go hang a chad.
I don’t use the term voter fraud, instead I say vote fraud.
Individual voters are probably not committing fraud at the polls, at least not at any scale that would make a difference. The penalties do not merit the risk.
What is possible and even likely is networks of political operatives manipulating legitimate votes and/or manufacturing others on an organized and large scale.
