NBC News: OK There’s Voter Fraud, But Not THAT Much
Spectator (UK) ^ | 19 October 2016 | Stephen Kruiser

Posted on 10/20/2016 10:51:37 AM PDT by Lorianne

With the latest Project Veritas video sting revealing details of just how Democrats like to commit voter fraud, the old leftists line about the nonexistence of fraud is out the window. It should be, anyway. The O’Keefe videos aren’t getting quite the blanket coverage they would be getting if the fraud were on the other foot.

This little gem from NBC News is interesting, if only because it admits that some fraud occurs.

“It is possible to have some votes stolen in this way, but it’s not possible to be done on a wide scale,” said Dick Simpson, a University of Illinois-Chicago political science professor, who said there are many safeguards in place to prevent such fraud.

And Simpson would know — he’s also a former Chicago alderman

What follows are assurances from the very people who would have to be involved in the facilitation of the fraud that-you guessed it-the fraud doesn’t happen. Or doesn’t happen enough, to be precise. There are safeguards in place, don’t you know. They are quite proud of the fact that it is difficult for dead people to vote. Not impossible, mind you, merely difficult.

That’s sort of weird to me because virtually every dead person I know finds it impossible to do anything other than, you know, be dead.

The kinds of fraud mentioned in the NBC article may be difficult to pull off, but the guy in the Project Veritas sting was talking about busing people to different polling places and having them vote more than once. The kind of thing that would be easier to pull off if no one had to show identification when voting.

Why would they spend so much time and money on it if it had no impact?

They don’t find it the least bit suspicious when boxes of ballots for the Rat candidate are miraculously “found” in the trunk of some Rat’s car which contain enough Rat votes to tip the election in the Rat’s favor.

They don’t think it odd at all that recounts ALWAYS favor the Rats.

They see nothing wrong with Rat operatives going to nursing homes and mental institutions and “helping” mentally infirm people to vote.

They don’t see a problem with registering illegal aliens to vote when they give them a driver license.

And they certainly have no problem with the graveyard vote because the dead always vote Rat.

If it didn’t make much of a difference then why would they go through all of the trouble and risk jail time?

There’s no voter fraud.
Dead people still registered after 20 years didn’t necessarily vote.
Those stories of dead people voting are all Republican conspiracy theories.
Ok that one story about that dead guy voting was an isolated incident.
Ok there are a lot of isolated incidents across the country but it’s not enough to change the outcome.
These stories of enough dead people voting to change the outcome of a race are all Republican conspiracy theories.

This political science professor lives in one of the most corrupt cities on the planet and can’t find much fraud!

All he has to do is walk the city neighborhoods on election day—complete clown!

Vote Fraud is just like being pregnant, you can’t just be “A Little Bit Pregnant” ....Well.... Unless you are a democrat then you go have an Abortion...

And that is what voter Fraud is, The Abortion of the Republic...

........with tens of millions of dollars, and a YUUUUGGGEEE percent of his ego invested in this Presidential Run, I’m hoping Trump has geared up and organized up to have lots of muscle at some of these polling stations where black guys ARE intimidating poll workers.

Parallel with that effort he needs to have computer experts present in all the suspected precincts in order to combat Hillarybots fng around with the computer voting machines.

He surely won’t rely on Rinse Prickus to handle these tasks.

Next week it will be;

“Okay, it is possible to have some votes stolen on a wide scale, but it’s not possible to be done on a national scale.”

Correct about one STOLEN vote being one too many. The hypocrisy of libs on this is simple amazing. They oppose ALL voter ID laws because it MAY disenfranchise minorities and the poor. Not that they are actually PREVENTED from voting, it just means they have to comply with an extra step to have an ID to verify their legal status. But an actual ILLEGAL vote does indeed STEAL/CANCEL a legitimate vote thereby actually disenfranchising a vote... which is the real threat to Democracy, and they are fine with that! Simply unbelievable level of hypocrisy!

NBC - we don’t develop our information from reliable sources; we just make it up as we go.

Why would anyone bother committing voter fraud if they didn’t think it COULD influence the outcome of an election? I mean it would be completely pointless otherwise.

A former alderman from Crook county assuring all that there is only a little fraud going on. At least only enough to sway the election a la 1960.

The Democrat Party has no problem with voter fraud, and it wants more of it.

“And Simpson would know — he’s also a former Chicago alderman.”

Only mainstream media would think you could trust a Chicago politician when it comes to vote fraud.

There's just a teeny-tiny bit of sewage in the drinking water. But that's OK, right?
