Media dismiss Trump's claim of Florida election fraud
Washington Examiner ^ | November 12, 2018 03:00 PM | Eddie Scarry

Some in the news media are dismissing President Trump's claim of fraud in Florida's election, even after two judges have found impropriety with the process in specific parts of the state.

CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza on Monday called claims of corruption and “fraud” by Trump and Republicans “baseless” and said that they “tell us about how [Trump] will approach his own re-election race in 2020.”

His colleague John Avlon on Monday morning called on Florida to “count the votes. Don’t demonize the process.”

Trump returned Sunday from a weekend trip to Europe, but his mind was at least in part focused on the closely watched Florida election.

“The Florida Election should be called in favor of [Republicans] Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged,” he tweeted. “An honest vote count is no longer possible — ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!”

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski refused to air Trump's allegation. “You know what, no. We’re not going to read — Just take it down. What a liar,” Scarborough said.

While there has been no evidence of widespread election “fraud,” Broward County officials have admitted they mixed in roughly two dozen ineligible ballots with about 200 eligible ones, all of which were anonymous. Officials had said it was unlikely they would be able to separate the ballots.

Gov. Rick Scott has implied that election fraud could be occurring and has filed a lawsuit over claims that Broward County counted votes past the legal deadline for doing so on Saturday. He said Monday that Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., is trying to steal the election by ignoring state law on how elections are run and counting thousands...

Fortunately Trump is not one to let the media get away with their malpractice.

The hipocrecy of these people is stunning. These are the same one who claim the Russians stole the election with absolutely no evidence. Now there is an abundance of physical as well as circumstantial evidence. Unbelievable!

The media supports voter fraud fraud, then gets indignant when they’re called an enemy of the people. They hate America and democracy to its core.

Snopes will be sure to find proof of fraud to be “mostly false!”

Don't forget AZ, GA, MT, etc...

Bill Mitchell@mitchellvii

The Republican Governor won by 328,000 votes.
The Democrat Senator is winning by 32,000 votes.

The Republican Governor won Maricopa County by 325,000 votes.
Sinema winning Maricopa by 32,000 votes.

Almost 350,000 vote swing to Dem Senator.

Oh, there is voter fraud, stuffing ballots, and conspiracy all over the place. Just like 2000.

It’s amazing that the same people who, with NO evidence, believe fervantly in man-made global warming, and Russian Collusion, DENY all the evidence of vote fraud.

Stunning hypocriscy, indeed. But, we should expect nothing less.

Conspiracies are just theories until there are arrests.

Interesting how the media takes any accusation by any Democrat as truth and asks for no proof, but an accusation by a Republican is not only dismissed, but the media actively works to refute it — even in the face real proof. And, folks, that is another example of why the media is the enemy of the American people.

So they dismiss all of this without investigating anything?

That legally makes no sense at all. There has to be fraud there.

Remember which party consistently refuses to implement or support any kind of checks and balances which would help eliminate voter fraud in the U.S.

I’m not sure many of us understand the deadly seriousness of the problem here. We are dealing with a media that is worse than Pravda. This media is leading Millions off of a cliff in true communist fashion. They want conservatives , Christians, and anyone who voted for Trump dead. They are not playing games.... they know they are in a war. And then we ask...why are they being so mean? Why are they being so unfair? Their mission is to literally destroy any opposition... and we are still at the point of asking why can’t they be nice and fair. Almighty God open our eyes and help us.

This probably sounds cynical but it sure seems to me like the GOP is its own worst enemy. Their lack of action seems to have empowered the democrats like never before.

1. No one despite an abundance of evidence has been arrested for Russia-gate or Spy-gate.

2. FISA and other records are still safely tucked in Rosenstein’s pocket.

3. GOP has House and Senate and wall was not funded. The primary election promise.

RESULT.
GOP looks weak and despite all the crowds at Trumps rally’s, lost the House.

Democrat sharks smell blood and are circling and responding with blatant I dare you type corruption.

GOP still won’t unite.

Lovely.
