RUSH: Ah, this is great. The Drive-Bys won’t stop asking about it. I guess Trump last night made some reference again to all of the illegals who voted, and the Drive-Bys just keep going back to it today. And Spicer says (paraphrasing), “Look, there’s no investigation. We’re thinking of having one. There’s nothing new here, you people. The president has said that he believed a number of illegal people voted for a long time. He referenced it again last night, and you’re acting like it’s something new. It isn’t anything new.”
And they are acting like it’s something new. They will not let go of it. They are demanding evidence. They are demanding an investigation. They’re demanding that Trump back it up. They’re demanding that Spicer back it up. (laughing) You know what? There’s even a couple of Russian journalists that are in the briefing today. (laughing) Russian journalists, folks! With the Drive-Bys thinking the Russians hacked the election and Trump’s team has welcomed Russian journalists.
Everybody knows Russia doesn’t have journalists; they have hacks. (laughing) This is in their face. At least that’s what it appears to me. I haven’t had a chance to watch the whole thing here. But that’s what it seems to me to be.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I have a couple sound bites. I’ve been talking about the press briefing with Scott Spicer and the Drive-Bys here. It turns the out the woman I thought was Julie Pace AP was actually, what’s her name, Cecilia Vega, and she’s with ABC. We have two sound bites on this, and this is Cecilia Vega bringing up the subject of Trump believing that a bunch of illegals voted in the last election.
VEGA: Does the president believe that millions voted illegally in this election, and what evidence do you have of widespread voter fraud in this election, if that’s the case?
Trump Believes Millions Voted Illegally in 2016 Election: White House
SPICER: The president does believe that. He’s stated that before. I think he stated his concerns of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign. He continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence that people have presented to him.
VEGA: But exactly what evidence? Speaker Ryan today says there’s no evidence. The National Association of Secretaries of State say that they don’t agree with the president’s assessment. What evidence do you have?
SPICER: As I said, I think the president has believed that for a while based on studies and information he has.
RUSH: All right. So then they went off on other things and Mara Liasson had her turn. She asked about the VA hiring freeze. Then she got back to this claim — you can tell the Drive-Bys don’t believe it happened and they’ve got all this other evidence, the National Association of Secretaries of State, transgender and otherwise, all say it didn’t happen. Paul Ryan says it didn’t.
Look, there is voter fraud out there and it’s been documented time and time again and the reason that the Democrats are opposed to voter ID is so they can continue to engage in voter fraud. It’s simple. Voter fraud occurs. And voter ID, a photo ID proving you are who you are and that you’re registered, the Democrats oppose that, ’cause it’s one of the greatest techniques of preventing voter fraud there is. Anyway, Mara Liasson got back to it later on in her questioning.
LIASSON: Just to follow up on Cecilia.
SPICER: Yeah.
LIASSON: If three to five million people voted illegally, that is a scandal of astronomical proportions. Doesn’t he want to restore American’s faith in their ballot system? Wouldn’t he want an investigation of this?
SPICER: Well, you know, but, Mara, as I noted several times now, he’s believed this for a long time. And I think he won fairly overwhelmingly, so he’s not — (crosstalk)
CALLER: I’m asking you why not investigate something —
SPICER: Maybe we will.
LIASSON: This is the biggest scandal in American electoral history, three to five million people voting illegally?
SPICER: And I think we’ll see where we go from here, but right now the focus that the president has is on putting Americans back to work. It’s a comment he made on a long-standing belief.
RUSH: You find it ironic that (imitating Liasson) “Well, that would be the biggest scandal in the world, three and a half million people voting illegally.” Wait a minute, I thought the Russians hacking the election was the big scandal? And all of a sudden the Drive-Bys are out there saying it’s this? That would be the biggest scandal? By the way, Trump’s never said three to five million. I think the number was two million. It’s never been three to five million.
Janet Napolitano was elected governor of Arizona when they counted and counted and counted the votes on the reservations long after election night. Matt Salmon, from the McCain/Flake Rino brigade never said a word.
Al Franken won similarly in Minnesota. The press may be walking into doo doo here. There are plenty of examples. How about Cleveland and Philly for Obama in 2012?
Trump needs to propose a thorough, big-bucks, transparent investigation using unbiased investigators and subpoena power. The mere presence of such an investigation would deter fraud.
Here is a breakdown of the irregularities in Detroit’s 662 precincts:
236 precincts in balance — equal numbers of voters counted by workers and machines
248 precincts with too many votes and no explanation (77 were 1 over; 62 were 2 over, 37 were 3 over, 20 were 4 over, 52 were 5 or more over).
144 precincts with too few votes and no explanation (81 were 1 under, 29 were 2 under; 19 were 3 under; 7 were 4 under; 8 were 5 or more under)
34 precincts out of balance but with an explanation
Donald Trump’s recent statement that the upcoming election might be “rigged” set off a firestorm, with many on the left decrying his claim while many of his supporters saying that he was highlighting a serious problem.
I am in neither of those camps, but believe that the nation does face a grave election integrity problem. It goes way back in time and has been worsening in recent years as techniques for manufacturing votes have been sharpened.
Ballot fraud is illegal in all states, but some of them have taken steps intended to prevent it because a) it’s almost impossible to kick out an illegal vote once it has been cast and b) vote fraud is extremely hard to detect and prosecute. A small step in that direction is a law requiring people to show valid picture identification before they’re given a ballot.
Indiana has had such a law since 2005 and its constitutionality was upheld by the Supreme Court in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board in 2008. Indiana’s Secretary of State, Connie Lawson, notes in this article that voter turnout increased after the law’s implementation and that there is no compelling evidence that any voters have been blocked from voting due to the stricter identification requirements.

I’m saying there were at least 12 million illegal alien votes in the 2016 election. Prove me wrong, media jackasses.
They are demanding evidence. They are demanding an investigation
= = =
I thought that is what Investigative Urinalists do.
Trump needs to propose a thorough, transparent investigation of voting fraud, with subpoena power. Hard to oppose this, and its very existence would deter fraud.
Actually he’s not limiting deportation to the illegals who voted. Other criminal immigrants will also be leaving.
MOTOR VOTER FRAUD: In Washington State to get the vote all you need to do is "complete a transaction" at any office...this means taking a number to ask for a brochure qualifies at any DMV office. Take a number, ask for a brochure......et voila.....you get to vote.
<><> obamba is importing Democrats by the truckload.....all from the dirt-poor Third world. Not only are they Hillary voters, but they are being placed where their numbers impact the electoral college.
<><> The DNC computers already know how many votes have to be manufactured on each block if not at each address.
<><> Obama and Congressional Democrats----w/ then-AG Eric Holder----gave NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN), and blood-thirsty La Raza a huge funding source...our tax dollars. Obama/Holder/Dems extorted banks via DOJ litigation/bank settlements----these nefarious liberal organizations got all the loot to conduct voter fraud schemes.
<><> REALTIME REPORT--At a DMV in Washington, speaking English, we had a tough time establishing my wife's 'residency' because they wouldn't take a house contract, my military reserve paperwork listing her address, or vehicle insurance cards with our new address.
The adjacent line for Spanish speakers was a long line of 'Oregon' residents; by showing two pieces of mail, getting Washington licenses was no problems. Don't know if latinos were registering to vote, but with Washington's mail-in ballots for everything, fraud is already rampant.
Dana Perino just pooh-poohed the whole idea to Bill O. (rolling eyes)
So long as there is no effort by the government to limit the right to vote in federal elections to U.S. citizens, there is an embarrassing surfeit of evidence as matter of record.
Went to a Costco located south of San Diego, CA for a particular item. Noticed a registration table and since I had just relocated got in line. The chap in front of me was having trouble with his English but had a copy of an electric bill...all of which got him the right to vote. I made a couple of comments to the registration lady and while seeming to mirror my concern she said, "Our instructions are to register them upon the showing of any record of local residence."
Yes, he needs an audit of the 57 blue counties that Stroker won.
The RATs proudly instruct their ranks to "Vote early and often" and those 57 blue counties are the highest crime districts in the US.
So why would those same criminal invaders, who ignore our traffic and civil laws, who defraud our welfare systems and in fact commit many rapes and murders...why would they have any problem committing voter fraud?
This COULD be a golden opportunity to finally, finally go after the voter cheating. He’s up against it MSM Ryan, little Linda and the rest are sqealing.
Protecting their scam.
You need ID for like 99.99% of everything you do but not for voting.
EXACTLY!!!
It was fun to see that Mara Liason get all exercised about it. Anything that makes the liberals freak is fine by me. It will keep the slut march off the front pages for a couple more days.
Bring up the issue of voter fraud.
Then let them mock you. Let them ask you why no investigation.
Then give them an investigation with all the evidence.
Then make changes.
Sounds like a plan.
Is it fake when it is not in proportion?
Natural born citizens commit far more vote fraud than non-citizens. And legal non-citizens commit far more vote fraud than illegals.
Most vote fraud is committed by citizens using the names of others, both other citizens and non-citizens. So when you see the name of a non-citizen who is registered to vote and voted, it is most likely it was a citizen who committed the fraud.
The fraud in Detroit was done by poll workers, but not in the name of anyone. They just electronically stuffed the ballot box.
