PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA/AP) – Donald Trump continues to insist that there’s a lot of fraud in the U.S. voting system. Yesterday, Trump lashed out at Republicans who’ve tried to tone him down, calling his own party’s leaders “so naive.”
A study by a Loyola Law School professor found that out of 1 billion votes cast in all American elections between 2000 and 2014, there were only 31 known cases of impersonation fraud.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf tells the “KDKA Morning News” that Trump’s claims are “dangerous” and that, “It really could undermine the legitimacy of our system.”
“We have online voter registration. The person registers directly online, there is no transcription error,” Wolf says. “When you go to vote, you have to give your signature and at least in my community, when I go to vote, the signature that they compare it against is upside down so I can’t possibly forge it. If they don’t know who you are when you go into a polling station, you have to show photo ID if you’re voting for the first time.”
Wolf went on to say that it sounds like Trump is already making excuses.

Dangerous, but true.
Remember the Justice Department Attorney that resigned because he wasn’t allowed to prosecute voter intimidation in Philadelphia?
Whaddya know.....he got today’s talking points memo too!
Voter fraud itself is not dangerous - just talking about voter fraud is dangerous. Get it?
jeez....
I remember the Democrats saying that when Sore Loserman got their head handed to them.
Oh, sorry, I DON’T remember that.
Many areas of Philadelphia with over 100% votes over the registrations. How about that Gov. Wolf?
its only dangerous when republicans make the claim. Sanders saying it is a rigged system and democrats claiming President George W Bush was selected not elected are okay.
Truth is dangerous!
If you listen carefully to these hacks on the MSM CBS, etc, they are trying to bend the narrative to say Trump is claiming the election is rigged at the State level attempting to anger the states, but this is at the TOP level in DC! Drain the swamp!
“Dangerous, but true.”

From Rush’s show yesterday (if you’re playing the drinking game, the word is “dangerous”):
RUSH: Here’s the media’s latest effort to poison the water, muddy the water, and keep us in the sewer and the gutter to which they have taken us. We have a montage of Drive-Bys and Democrats reacting to the horrible, the just untenable, the unacceptable allegation that the election is rigged, by Donald Trump.
BILL MAHER: I read 65% of his followers already believe it is a rigged election. This is dangerous talk.
TIMOTHY O’BRIEN: It’s a destructive and dangerous thing to do, questioning important institutions, and it’s very dangerous.
RON BROWNSTEIN: Is this wrong? It is dangerous rhetoric.
RYAN LIZZA: Trump is stirring up some really dangerous ideas in the electorate.
BRET BAIER: Some people who’d say that the rigged talk is dangerous.
CHRIS STIREWALT: Dangerous energy that is out there when people feel like the system is rigged.
MATT LEWIS: It’s very dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
JULIE PACE: Incredibly dangerous.
HALLIE JACKSON: Dangerous to democracy.
MARTHA RADDATZ: Trump has been ramping up the rhetoric about how the election is rigged. How dangerous is this?
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: It’s dangerous feeling this election is going to be rigged.
DAN BALZ: It’s dangerous strategy.
RUSH: Isn’t it amazing how every one of them has the same exact take. Well, how about the danger posed to the Constitution by the Democrat Party? They want to take Trump’s comment that the election is rigged, and he’s talking about the media being unfair, he is talking about 95% of the media being in the tank for the Democrats, he’s talking about the powerful rigging things so that they don’t lose their powerful, the powerful do this in every walk of life. He is treating this with the reality he think exists.
Damn right they are. And is way past time we put a stop to it.
for the governor of PA, of all states, to be singing this fairy tale of a song about how there’s no voter fraud
ha ha
the IRONY of it!
As I recall, Philadelphia is still in PA.... where the deceased, illegal, and unregistered vote routinely, and often?
Wow if that's true what are the odds that I know 2 of the victims personally?
Dangerous because Trump is calling this toady out on his boys in Philly doing bad stuff
He is treating this with the reality he think exists.
................................................................
And many of us KNOW it exists and has existed for decades. FINALLY Trump is pointing the finger and people are waking up!
“claims”?
How dumb!!
It’s more than a ‘claim’ when you have documented PROOF and EVIDENCE!
I assume he’ll be getting on board with those who want to cleanup the voter roles (i.e. remove dead people) and required ID to vote. It’s been decades of claims that voter fraud happens. You’d think Ds could find a way to calm those fears without disenfranchising anyone. It would be to the Ds advantage to have everyone thing that D wins are legitimate. Unless the claims are true and Ds want the fraud.
