Poll: 60% of Republicans believe illegal immigrants vote; 43% believe people vote using dead people’s names

The 2016 presidential campaign has become a referendum on the process of American electoral democracy itself.

Republican candidate Donald Trump’s baseless claims of a “rigged” election and his refusal to promise to accept the outcome of November’s vote have focused renewed attention on allegations of voter fraud.

Meanwhile, Trump has been criticized for calling on his supporters to “go out and watch” polling places, statements that have been interpreted as attempts to intimidate minority voters. Along with the implementation of stricter voter identification laws in several states, activists and politicians on the left have called out these efforts as voter suppression.

But to what extent do Americans believe voter fraud and voter suppression occur? And are there differences that fall along party lines, as we might expect?

2. Vote

Have any of these idiots ever actually voted? The safeguards in place are extensive. Only people who have never bothered could believe that it's easy to vote fraudulently. The stupid really is painful.

Their "leaders" have been telling them shit like this for years now.

5. if by "leaders" you are including Democrats in promoting these memes you are wrong

These are fairy tales the "Government is the enemy" crowd cling to.

4. I guarantee you

if it were that easy, Republicans would already be doing it. They have no scruples. It's all about winning for them, by any means necessary.
