despite condemning Trump for suggesting an election can be rigged, here is a clip of then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008 warning about voter fraud and suggesting Republicans could try to sway the election in their favor.
“Well, I tell you what it helps in Ohio, that we got Democrats in charge of the machines,” Obama said regarding the threat of election-rigging.

No big deal.
Everybody with half a brain knows full well that obama - and hillary, too, for that matter - is both a liar and a hypocrite.
Maybe someone should inform Chris Wallace. He seems to be clueless. Or intentionally stupid.
Yet another case where both/and might be the appropriate answer, and not either/or.
The Podesta emails indicate the Hillary folks believed that Obama stole the nomination from Hillary in 2008.
Apparently he stuffed some caucuses with illegal voters.
She was so impressed with the tactic she has been trying it for herself!
Obama’s saying elections can’t be rigged, yet he’s accusing the Russians of rigging this election.
Brilliant.
Zerobama is a pothead. Logic ain’t his thing.
Hello Chris Wallace... Hello Joe Scarborough... are you there Chris Matthews? Good stuff Bill O’Reilly:

Barack Obama in 2008 warning about voter fraud and suggesting Republicans could try to sway the election in their favor.
“Well, I tell you what it helps in Ohio, that we got Democrats in charge of the machines,” Obama said regarding the threat of election-rigging.
He continued, “Whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction. That’s why we’ve got to have, I believe, a voting rights division in the Justice Department that is nonpartisan, and that is serious about investigating cases of voter fraud.”
“That’s why we need paper trails on these new electronic machines so that you actually have something that you can hang on to after you’ve punched that letter—make sure it hasn’t been hacked into,” he added, admitting that even Democrats have “monkeyed around” with election results:
“I want to be honest, it’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes, Democrats have, too.”
