Trump Now Claims ‘Illegal Immigrants’ Are Behind Voter Fraud

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump continued railing against what he says is voter fraud Monday night, this time claiming that “illegal immigrants are voting all over the country.”

“There is tremendous voter fraud. And how Republican leadership doesn’t see that is beyond me,” Trump told Fox News before a Green Bay, Wisconsin, rally.

“So many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common,” Trump said a short time later from the stage.

He followed it up Monday morning with this: “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!”

significant percentage that it would be mathematically impossible to claim a fraudulent result.

And if Trump keeps shooting his mouth off like a crazed halfwit, that might just happen.

his strategists' political counsel went out the window a long while back.

Trump is all negative energy. Dark matter blathering on and on.

Trump is very busy trying to draw attention away from his numerous sexual assaults.
Problem is, his sexual assaults outnumber the number of actual voter frauds committed.

Plant the seed and his army on knuckle draggers will be assaulting foreigners at the polls. Trump inciting disruption and intimidation hoping to scare Hispanics from voting. He can only win if he keeps voters away. We are going to need the National Guard called out to protect voters. Trump is deliberately trying to destroy this county because his fragile ego can't stand losing. TRUMP IS CLEARLY INSANE.

7. I'm beginning to think Trump has never actually voted. He has no idea of the process.

Either he votes absentee or doesn't vote at all. He seems to think you go in, take as many ballots as you want, and have at it. Or maybe, you go stand in the line again and nobody notices you've already signed in earlier. Or you go to precinct after precinct and your name is magically on the role in each polling place!

8. Wouldn't be any surprise at all if a reporter asked him how many times he's voted he admitted 0.

I think he's too self-centered to waddle off to vote for someone else.

It really sounds as if he has no idea how it works, as you said.

I don't think any of the trumps voted. They are woefully ignorant of the entire process.

claiming voter fraud for at least a decade.

Example: The former Secretary of State of New Mexico, Dianna Duran swore up and down that illegal immigrants were not only registering to vote, but actually voting. She never produced actual evidence of such fraud. Oh, and she had to resign after caught embezzling campaign money to fuel her casino addiction.

And any time anyone has investigated such supposed voter fraud, it's invariably Republicans who commit it. Hmmmm. Makes you wonder.

He is trying to change the subject. He wants us all to focus on his stupid tweets instead of his stupid behavior.

Each time the "rigged" subject comes up, we can just change the subject to Trump's sexual assaults.
