The Washington Post's fact-checker sharply critiqued former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her claims on Sunday concerning voter suppression in Wisconsin and Georgia in the 2016 presidential election.

“Clinton made several factual errors, offered questionable claims about a couple of studies, and ended up giving a misleading assessment of her loss,” Salvador Rizzo wrote in his column. The Post gave Clinton “Four Pinocchios.”

“I was the first person who ran for president without the protection of the Voting Rights Act, and I will tell you, it makes a really big difference,” Clinton said Sunday in Selma, Ala., commemorating “Bloody Sunday.” “And it doesn’t just make a difference in Alabama and Georgia; it made a difference in Wisconsin,...

The ONLY reason to object to mandatory Voter ID is to PROMOTE VOTE FRAUD.

She will go to her death whining and sobbing about how she was “screwed”. I hope she experiences eternal suffering for her many and ongoing crimes. Traitorous wretch.

Wisconsin was not covered under the section of the VRA that was terminated by the Supreme Court ruling, so that ruling could not have any effect on them.

The Democrat Party obviously wants to brush her aside, other wise they would have spun her lies into differences of opinion or some other “nuanced” B.S.

...I was the first person who ran for president without the protection of the Voting Rights Act...

Still LMAO as pathetic as it is.

So the Voting Rights Act was meant to protect her? Typical Hillary-all about her.

She immediately used Wisconsin as an example. The only problem was never under jurisdiction of Voting Rights Act

smh

Killary isn’t the only person who ran in that race. If she wasn’t covered by the voting rights act, nobody else was, either. And, she syill lost, thank God.

Poor Hillary.....

snip
Richard H. Pildes, a professor of constitutional law at New York University,
told Salon by email that the Shelby County decision “played no role at all
in the devastating losses Hillary Clinton suffered in industrial or Rust
Belt states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio [and] Pennsylvania, or her ability
to squeak out only a narrow victory in Minnesota.” Beyond two counties in
Michigan that were irrelevant to the election result, Pildes said, “None
of those states were covered ... by the part of the VRA the court struck down.”
