Trump 2016: "I am afraid."

[IanEye]

At a Monday campaign event in Columbus, Ohio, Donald Trump teed up for a potential challenge to the integrity of the fall general election, an escalation of his rhetoric about the "rigged" primary system.

"I am afraid the election's gonna be rigged, I have to be honest," Trump told the crowd.

While Trump has often questioned the integrity of the primary contests in both parties, his newest remarks seemed to begin laying groundwork for him to contest the Nov. 8 election results.

It was a line of attack that longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone pushed on a podcast with Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos that was posted online Friday. Stone suggested voter fraud is "widespread" and said if Hillary Clinton wins a state like Florida after polls show Trump in the lead, the election would be "illegitimate."

"If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government," Stone said. He also promised a "bloodbath" if the Democrats attempt to "steal" the election.

Voter fraud is so statistically rare as to be virtually nonexistent, data has shown.

Win or lose what has been "started" will not be going away. We are stuck with it. Yes very likely he is indeed laying the groundwork as it were. In fact I think we all could guarantee not just cleanup on aisle 9 but the whole damn store.

Anybody that is afraid of Trump does not understand the shadow. Trump, if elected, will be a continuation of the Bush, Clinton, Obama train. Considering anything else would either be hopeful or foolish. This juggernaut, for what it has been for decades, will not be interrupted, at least not yet, that is....the show will go on.......

Yep

"I am afraid the election's gonna be rigged, I have to be honest,"

The system has adapted to use 'conspiratorialism' as a weapon. And pretty effective it is, too - as witnessed here.

Well today the Washington Post had a story saying that Russia very well might hack the elections (for Trump of course) and therefore might render the elections null and void.

All that is conspiracy theory if labeled "American" becomes reasonable speculation as "Russian."

Why is electronic voting even allowed, anywhere at all? Seriously, why? The opportunities for fraud are so glaringly obvious and so easily exploited, it just astounds me that people put up with it. You might as well flush your vote down the toilet.

By far the safest system yet invented (not faultless, I know, but much better than the "improvement") is: paper ballots counted by hand.

So, good on Donald Trump* for stating a plain truth.

And there, in a nutshell - how Totalitarianism was unveiled in America

we couldn't trust the elections,there were foreign forces working to undermine our state, we don't know who to trust, we need a strong leader, yes, a strong leader who will deal with these things, who will save us, yes, save us, a strong leader

Yes. And note that the WP just admitted something momentous, something it might otherwise never have admitted: US Presidential Elections are hackable.

We knew. Deep down, most of us knew.
We knew that North Carolina’s 2013 voter ID law, like similar laws across the country, was not truly about voter fraud, but voter suppression.
We knew Republicans were less interested in the integrity of elections than in building obstacles for their opponents’ supporters.
We knew. Some Republicans even admitted it. And last week, in North Carolina, they got called on it.

Oh really, data has shown? Is that like that science stuff?

I suppose that still does leave room for electoral fraud.

Why another one of these? The other one not enough?
