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.
President Trump has, so far, been smart enough to not make an assertion until he has ample facts to back up his statements. The media keep trying to discredit him, and he keeps proving them wrong. I suspect that he has some solid information to support his assertion.
Barack Obama encouraged illegals to vote.
Does the Democrat media expect to sweep that into the memory hole?
...
Didn’t Moonbeam say no ID was required to vote in CA?
You are so right. On all sides of voter fraud, most people don’t know the facts and post from ignorance.
New,
Can you state the quantity of natural born citizens who commit vote fraud?
How many naturalized citizens commit vote fraud?
How many legal immigrants commit vote fraud?
All of the above are far more common than vote fraud by illegal immigrants.
If you know how many illegals committed vote fraud, then certainly you have numbers for the greater problem the others present.
The Feds created this problem. Now you want the Feds to fix it?
NO!
This should be a local issue.
Motor Voter was from the Feds.
HAVA-Help America Vote Act is big money to bribe state and local election boards to hire friends of Chris Dodd design and deliver the software and computer hardware.
Make is a local issue.
It’s a state issue to the point that each state runs it’s election system. But it is a federal issue in federal elections if a there is ample evidence that a state’s election results don’t reflect the will of the majority of people in that state. In other words, if it’s proven that California’s vote was comprised of 10% fraudulent votes, then the vote of California isn’t valid and the residents of the other 49 states (and the citizens of California) have a legitimate right to throw out that state’s votes and start over. IMHO, of course.
That’s what I’m thinking. Why not. These AssClownz have been rope a doped for the last 18 months.
Thank God I lived long enough to see this.
Winning!!
Thanks......got her nowhere.................
Good point.
There are many kinds of vote/election fraud.
1. People voting who shouldn’t is just one part of it.
2. People voting on behalf of others is far larger than #1 (and my area of first hand experience).
3. Poll worker fraud is common. They often vote on behalf of a friend whom they know really intended to vote, but was just too busy (watching TV).
4. Computer/machine hardware that malfunctions is common.
5. Software with bugs malfunctions. Some HAVA contractors are hired for the politics or campaign donations, not for their technical skill.
6. SoFtware intentionally designed to favor certain situations... the purpose Sen Chris Dodd created HAVA. HAVA offered Republican election officials FREE MONEY to buy this software.
7. Election official tampering in the back office after the precinct results are centralized.
8. Probably many other opportunities.
9. When an election board puts a polling place in a bar, or in a Mosque, or in a HolyRoller church some voters will feel uncomfortable and not show up to vote. Is that vote fraud?
10. Sometimes the election board changes the location of precinct voting to an area heavy with voters of one party and far from voters of the other party concentrated at the other end of the precinct. Is that fraud?
11. Sometimes the election board (or an individual falsely speaking for the board) changes the location at the last minute and only informs a select few of the new location. Is that fraud?
12. Many, many games, dirty tricks, and Dick Tuck stuff happens. Which is fraud and which isn’t?
You need ID for like 99.99% of everything you do but not for voting
= = = = = = = == = = = = =
Heard an interview with one of the pushers of the Pot In during the inauguration that said they were making the recipients of the free joints show a Government Picture ID.
I think the interviewer or one of the callers asked if that wasn’t racist.......
Broward County ....
All voter fraud needs to be investigated and taken seriously. As to illegals voting even if only one illegal voted it is one too many.
The Daleys in Chicago. Vote and vote often. Geve JFK the Presidency.
Does the Democrat media expect to sweep that into the memory hole?
An Elephant does not forget.
I am a naturalized citizen since June 12, 1977, and before getting my citizenship it never entered my mind to vote in any election.
CNN needs to put its best investigative journalists on this immediately.....
Of COURSE there was voter fraud, and of course millions of illegals voted in states where there are no controls in place to prevent them from doing so. After the media and the rats (but I repeat myself) jacked them up about it, and after Obola blatantly encouraged them to do so, they likely felt it was their duty. And of course there is rampant fraud in the inner city precincts where there are no republican poll watchers to guard against it.
Spicer seems to be pretty good at stirring up the ant mound - hope President Trump keeps him on. It’s refreshing.
There’s no need for an investigation, Out out out get’m out won’t happen again. Problem solved.
Democrats registered 100,000 new voters in our state between the primary and the day of the election. They focused and five areas: Three counties and two legislative districts. The counties were composed of migrant workers. The two other areas were legislative districts where they wanted to knock out Republican incumbents. They found their new voters in apartment complexes and the colleges. Get the picture?
Two words: Detroit Michigan.
