Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.
Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.
The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
“The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters <http://www.gregpalast.com/rolling-stone-expose-gops-secret-plan-steal-vote/>,†8/24/2016.
Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
And away we go.....

5. I always wondered how they could be so sure that people with property in
two different states aren't voting in both. I would track Florida snowbirds to battleground states to see if it's a real problem.
Republicans aren't known for just cheating in one way.
Dummies you do NOT want to go there....

19. Driver's License in one state only
If you get one in Florida, then they destroy the one you had elsewhere. That's what happened when we moved from Indiana to Florida.
Don't need no steeenking drivers license to vote!

25. Aside from that, even if you don't have to fly...
spending a bundle and a whole day to cast one or two extra votes, it's a real pain to just drive from your Montclair, NJ home to your beach house in Westhampton to cast those extra votes.
If there are any votes like that, they are probably irrelevant.
One of my moles?

3. This is what we need to fight against
but how? They control everything and will continue to remove people from the voting rolls, probably faster than we can get them back on.
Guess when the Orange Walking Nightmare kept jabbering about the thing being rigged, he was telling the truth, we just misunderstood what he meant.
Speak Truth to Power!!!!

7. "This is what we need to fight against but how?"
Every state that used Crosscheck should have their outcomes challenged and
thrown out. People's Constitutionally protected vote was taken away.
Contact the D. o J., Democratic Senators, and the useless DNC. We need to
raise a stink knowing that the media will do its best to hide the story about
a dirty and rigged election.
I am sure they will get right on it!!!

10. OK. Thank you
I'm having cognitive difficulties since this election.
I have a direction and a word processing program and the internets (all of them).
Time to write some letters and do some research (not in that order).
All your cognitives are belong to us!

12. one foot in front of the next and move on
I worked during election day and I was never more sure of the outcome then that day.
W/that being said I still can't watch the news or read a paper, my sleep comes in small
stages, and my good times I am in a fog or numb from drink and in my bad times I feel
waves of pain.
But still we must fight and any state that used "crosscheck" should have their outcomes
voided.
All you elections are belong to us!
OK now for the good one:

6. imho, this is the news that was intended to be stifled
by hacking this place.
srsly, who has a better rep than du for digging into fishy results?
True_Blue (2,459 posts)
22. Exactly what I thought
DU was hacked hours before the first polls closed, and yet that hate video seemed certain that Trump was going to win. They were planning to steal the election and knew DU would be all over it. Trump was right when he said 'this election is rigged like you wouldn't believe.'
Trump took DU down!!!!!

24. Trump was right when he said 'this election is rigged like you wouldn't believe.'
yup. It was a coup and our media will not cover it.
I can't put my fingers on it but it was a sophisticated multi level action.
They had to keep the election close enough so in the end they could steal it.
And to that end we had unceasing and unending investigations into nothing,
Comey and the FBI with their last minute email scandal, Russia and Wiki
leaks doing whatever, and 30 years of selling hate about the Clintons from
the right wing.
We need to demand that the 2016 is really looked @ and that any state that
used "crosscheck" have their elections voided out.

it was bad with gw but this.
Trump will probably make GW Bush look like a piker if he does 1/5 of what he said he would. We would see dump suicides. That would please me.

15. Latest on NPR this morning: KKKris KKKobach is being mentioned for Attorney General!!!
That's Attorney General of the US. This isn't shaping up to be a White House cabinet, it's looking more and more like a ****ing criminal conspiracy!!!
Throw out the raaaacism angle!!!

20. As I suspected
They were gerrymandering and eliminating voters like crazy yet the DP failed to stop that.
The DP is also too weak to demand that the election was rigged and results should be voided in those three states. If not all where this took place.
The country is now in the hands of dedicated maniacs and criminals.
The Evil Gerry Mander is back. That is one bad assed dude.

26. The only way republicans can win is by stopping people from voting
And that plan of purging people will continue and grow. Coupled with gerrymandering, they will remain in power regardless of how terrible they are in office.
Gerry Mander must be related to Keyser Söze from The Usual Suspects. The guy is everywhere and nowhere all at the same time!!!!

27. Didn't some of this happen in Florida in 2000?
Yep. You dummies couldn't punch a hole in a piece of damned paper so we ended up with electronic voting machines. Now you hate those. Be careful what you ask for dummie. We could very well wind up going to the way it originally was. Everyone went to the voting place, stood up and said: "I am so-and-so and my vote is thus..."
That is it for now.
The Dump is a target rich environment tonite!
