In reply to the discussion: If an election was stolen and there's no evidence of it [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)176. Uh, you could not be more wrong.
There is tons of evidence of Republicans cheating in elections year after year after year. In fact a few of them, although nowhere near enough, have been caught and sent to prison.
You are correct that Fox's paranoid claims about hoards of Illegal Immigrants being bused into polling booths is a complete fantasy without a shred of evidence to even point to.
But it's strange that you are unaware of the massive amounts of fraud by Republicans that has been uncovered over the past number of years, including some that has been prosecuted.
