Obama: Reports of voter fraud are 'fake news'
The Hill ^ | January 18, 2017

Posted on 01/19/2017 11:11:17 AM PST by SMGFan

President Obama on Wednesday talked about the importance of voting rights, dismissing the idea of large-scale voter fraud as "fake news."   "This whole notion of voting fraud — this is something that has constantly been disproved," Obama said during the final press conference of his presidency.

"This is fake news — the notion that there are a whole bunch of people out there who are going out there and are not eligible to vote and want to vote."   Instead, Obama said, the country has the opposite problem: There are a lot of people in the country who are eligible to vote but don't cast their ballots.

Kind of like when you said, “If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare.” Right Barry? #fakenews.

He TOLD THEM TO DO IT HIMSELF! HE told them they wouldn’t get caught! And they did it by the millions in California!

That’s why they stopped the recount in Illinois/Chicago - too much “fake news” going on...

How can it be "disproved" without the use of Voter ID? It's like the owner of a bar that never "cards" the customers saying that they have no underage drinkers. How would they know???

If you say a lie enough time the MSM will believe it.

Priceless.

Like those 120% turnout on HilLIARy and Obama districts the last three elections?

Fortunately the GOP was kicked in the ass by a candidate who could overcome the massive voter fraud.

BUT WE BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

some eligible voters do not vote because they reason why
should I vote if my vote will be cancelled by a fraudulent
vote?

If the system doesn’t believe vote fraud exists, there will be no attempt to fix it.

That’s his strategy.

Is voter fraud different from a hack of the voting machines by Russian sources? How about a hack from non-Russian sources?

It all apparently makes a difference whether you are benefited or damaged by the tampering with the vote count.

If there was any tampering, then prevaricating abut it is probably the best strategy for the party that was doing the tampering.

Detroit 2016 presidential election.

Any computer professional will tell that California's decision to pretend that NO illegals voted was a horrible mistake.

They should have acknowledged at least a few thousand. By not doing so, it's almost proof positive that there were illegals voting.

Give us your voting data files for a week, and we'll whip a REAL nice vote fraud report, Caliscum.

Obama instructed the illegal aliens to vote (NOT #fakenews, the video clip is out there) and told them that no one would “come after” them.

Voter fraud is not fake news as was proven by Jill Stein’s insistance on a voter recount. In Michigan, evidence of voter fraud was reported in Detroit among other places.

Obama is trying to supress the call for voter ID, that’s all. The democrats are fighting so hard to supress voter ID. He is taking a final shot at it before leaving office.
