I love everything Bernie Sanders is doing/saying....but he doesn't believe in election fraud [View all] J_J_ Jun 2015 OP

Are you referring to voter fraud or voter suppression? I don't think there is much voter fraud, still_one Jun 2015 #1

The controversy is over whether the GOP shifted votes on voting machines pinboy3niner Jun 2015 #3

Appreciate the clarification. The problem with voting machine issues is going to be hard to prove, still_one Jun 2015 #21

I've been saying this was a non-story for years brooklynite Jun 2015 #33

wrong year, wrong election- this was way before Republicans came up with that BS J_J_ Jun 2015 #37

Again, I call bs. It was not KERRY's view that Kerry ended up winning that election. merrily Jun 2015 #68

He didn't tell anyone to shut up or move on and he acknowledged smokey nj Jun 2015 #40

Your op is a total and complete fabrication cali Jun 2015 #53

I planned on ignoring the election, until Bernie's ideas/campaigns took off and gave me hope J_J_ Jun 2015 #61
