Chris Christie Claims That Hillary Clinton Is Trying To Steal The Election

Can you say "projection" and "fear-mongering"??

PoliticusUSA

Republicans are already making excuses for losing the 2016 election, as Chris Christie claimed that Hillary Clinton is trying to increase voter fraud.

. ... (video)

Transcript via Face The Nation:

DICKERSON: Hillary Clinton mentioned you and said you and other Republicans are trying to make it harder for people to vote. What is your reaction to that?

CHRISTIE: She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

In New Jersey, we have early voting that are available to people. I don’t want to expand it and increase the opportunities for fraud. Maybe that’s what Mrs. Clinton wants to do. I don’t know.

But the fact is that folks in New Jersey have plenty of an opportunity to vote. And maybe if she took some questions some places and learned some things, maybe she wouldn’t make such ridiculous statements.


. ...

Christie’s main point was an absurd claim that Hillary Clinton is going to steal the 2016 election by encouraging eligible voters to vote. Christie’s claim that the larger the electorate the greater the possibility for fraud was as anti-democratic as it gets. The idea that voting must be restricted so that elections remain uncorrupted is the height of absurdity.

CBS’ John Dickerson confused voter fraud and election fraud. The laws that Republicans are passing in the states that they control are voter ID laws. Voter ID laws only cover voter fraud, which is an individual trying to vote as someone else. Election fraud is a broader category of fraud that can involve anything from absentee ballots to voting machines. Republicans have shown zero interest in combatting election fraud.

That there are hordes of blacks, Mexicans and other "unAmericans" who impersonate dead voters after being bussed to the polls by democratic party operatives. The Black Panthers then intimidate white Republican voters who flee in fear without having their vote counted. And that's how elections are stolen.

So Christie is just reaffirming what they already know.

This is closely related to their knowledge that public school teachers are lazy sods who are overpaid and who want children to fail so they become Cadillac driving welfare queens who vote for Democrats even though they could all go to voucherised charter schools and become wealthy entrepreneurs and trickle down ever greater riches upon those less fortunate (who are that way because they are lazy sods seduced by welfare and food stamps.)
