He didn’t. He handed it off to DHS if I remember correctly.

“You make it seem like the Republicans are a better alternative.”
First they are and next if you have read my posts before I usually say “the undeserving Republicans will win..” I stand by that.
I am amazed at how many people here seem to wake each morning looking for something to be afraid of. BTW I’ve work in many campaigns and studied election results for years. I can tell you that the upward possibility of voter fraud which I completely believe happens is no more than 2 1/2 to 3%.

In the inner cities it is unnecessary and in places where Republicans will take Democrat seats 2 1/2 to 3% is a huge amount. Yes it is possible in a statewide race but hey look at Pennsylvania. The Democrats bused in welfare thugs from Trenton and Camden for years but the Republicans finally got smart and Trump won. Think and believe whatever makes you worries feel good but you are wrong, but this will be another 2014.

Why did Trump abandon the vote integrity commission? Big mistake
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree. Importing voters is what all of this is all about.
We wouldn’t vote for the New World Order so they are importing people who will.

The election Democrats have long feared is rushing toward them. The hiding is over. What the conservatives were never able to do, The Crazies in the Democrats' own party have finally achieved.
However, it is not a one and done kind of thing -- if it were, this would have eneded in the election of 1968. Thanks jmaroneps37.

The Media and the DemocRATS Nutroots will hold their feet to the fire this election. I quite agree the DemocRATS wil have to be more honest than they ever have been before.

PS: Trump helped in this in more ways than one.

A pretty good analysis for 1980 America. The marxist virus being turned out by our school systems are the real problem. The children are growing up and turning from brainwashed kids into brainwashed adults. Consequently I think the election this year will be closer than the author believes. And freedom itself hangs in the balance. It is interesting that the Russian leader seems a more patriotic American than elite dimocrats.

Would you agree that the Democrats were in far better shape in 2010 - had more money had a stronger hold on the media so they could lie more easily? Same for 2014? Same for 2016? Why are you afraid to acknowledge the Democrats are dead ducks? What do they campaign on that will sway voters? In 2010 2014 and 2014 the lead Republican did NOT have 20% approval among Black voters. There was no #walkaway so why hide under your desk? It can be worse to underestimate your advantage than overestimate your advantage because you lose opportunities.

"That makes no sense. Every cheating vote is a higher percentage of the total vote when turnout is low."

Sorry for typing too fast. I rushed my analysis You're correct in a sense although when you see the below you'll understand what I mean.

During Presidential elections, there is a greater turnout from Democrats and others more inclined to vote Democratic such as the poor and minorities, those that aren't registered to a party.

Also, it is basically known that even the most egregious examples of ballot-stuffing and non-citizen voting doesn't amount to more than 0.5% of the vote in states like Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida. So for statewide elections like Governor and Senator, during an extremely close race, Dems can eke out a win if the margin is razor thin and they can succeed in putting together maybe 100,000 illegal votes.

But in midterm years, those Dem-inclined voters do not show up. The electorate is more white, older, and more conservative. So while the vote totals are lower, the difference between R and D is greater, and it would take more cheating to throw an election. Frankly, I don't think the Dems really try during off-year elections.

Case in point is Ohio in 2012 and 2014:

- 2012 totals (Presidential year): 2.62 million (R), 2.41 million (D), difference is 210,000
- 2014 totals (off-year): 1.77 million (R), 1.18 million (D), difference is 590,000

See? With the lower vote totals during an off year, the Dems would need to do far more cheating to pull ahead.

You were right to call me out on it, though, it's a slightly complicated argument to make.
