    Sad state of affairs when revealing the truth is seen as doing damage to our elections.

    No, none have "confirmed" it. Obama's people say "maybe" and "possibly" - which means nothing nor does it matter anyway. Truth is truth, regardless of the source. It sad how the corporate propaganda machinery has convinced people they must NOT listen to the truth and instead only listen to their false propaganda.

    You are saying you have proof that a significant amount of voter fraud is happening/will happen, which will change the outcome of the election? Yeah, there are way more stretches of "maybe" and "possibly" required to believe that than there are to believe that those two hacking groups are Russian.

    It would have taken about 250 illegal or fraudulent votes to change the entire 2000 election so define "significant amount".

    Either you did not read past the headlines of your own articles or you are pretending you did not notice the language used.. Which is it?

    Gore was confused by the FACT that he got 500,000 MORE votes than Bush and was still being called the loser even while a crucial recount was still going on. Just another example of how liberals don't understand the "nuance" that enables the SCOTUS to casually disenfranchise enough people to fill 10 football stadiums and thus give us the worst President in our history.

    You mean Gore didnt know how our election system works and thought the person who won an unofficial tally of all the state elections that day wins?

    Who was disfranchised?

    Where are you getting that figure from/

    Trump and cronies are saying that ANY loss by them, up to and including MILLIONS of votes, are going to be fraudulent. This is insane, equivalent to saying that we shouldn't even have an election but just summarily declare Trump the winner since Dems are so obviously and inherently wrong in all things

    Then again, conservatives have always had problems with elections, largely beginning with the fact that they lose most of them.

    If you choose to ignore what our own intelligence officials and analyst have to say about the hacking, that's your prerogative, but it is obvious that you are dealing with an extremely lopsided double standard if you choose to treat Trump's speculations with any credence.

    Yet again there is no way you actually read your articles and then could post the above.

    What was the final vote difference between Gore and Bush.....about 500 votes......change 251 with illegal/fraudulent votes and the entire election could have been swayed. That is one illegal vote in 251 polling places. There are over 500 polling places in Broward county alone.

    What those who oppose common sense measures to insure the integrity or elections do is play the game of totally all the separate individual state elections into some HUGE number and then claim SEE it would take MILLIONS of illegal votes to change the election. That is be dishonest with the numbers and how our system of elections work. They also seem to try and ignore the fact there are thousands of elections across the country and many have are low vote elections that can be very close elections with just a few illegal votes to sway the election.

    So define "significant amount"

    Not that I am hearing, got any quotes of them saying ANY loss will be fraud?

    We do know there is lots of fraud going on just look at the illegals we are discovering who are registered and the voter drive fraud we read about.

    He challenged the results because it was very close and there was evidence of potential issues with ballots. At no point did he say the election was rigged or cry like a little baby. If this election comes down to hundreds of votes, Trump can certainly bring up a recount. But crying like a little beotch before any vote is even placed is embarrassing. You guys chose a terrible candidate. Own it.

    Bush appealed the Florida Supreme Court's decision to have a recount in disputed counties and kicked it up to the US Supreme Court who overturned it with no good reason except that five of the justices were in the bag for the Cheney/Bush crooks. The Bush team stole Florida by preventing thousands of African Americans from voting. The scheme was cooked up by the Bush team and the sleazy Secretary of State. They scrubbed the voter rolls selectively using the ruse of getting felons off the voter rolls. Most of those who were prevented from voting were not felons. Bush's team was sued by the NAACP for discrimination and settled by paying them off.

    They did it because the Secretary of State for Florida as the law required certified the results of the election then without legal authority the FSC at the request of Gore voided that certification and order recounting to continue after the legally binding date for all results to be turned into the Secretary of State had passed. Then later they also issued a ruling that the selective manual recounts violated equal protection laws for ALL the voters in the state of Florida. They also demanded the FSC explain where they got the authority to do what they were doing with Florida elections and of course they never could.
