Trump repeats debunked voter fraud claim at meeting with Hill leaders

[Superfluous Man]

If somebody thinks that a survey saying 14% of noncitizens are registered to vote is credible, and that person tells somebody else they need to think, we're dealing with such a thick skull that engagement is probably a waste of time.

The person who collected the data that was based on said they contacted the people who claimed in the online survey that they were not citizens and voted. All said they clicked the wrong button in the survey. In different parts of the same survey they indicated they were citizens and in another part that they were not. (this was on the radio so I have no link at the moment).

Wrong again.

Trump's own attorneys have conceded there is no evidence of voter fraud

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for a "major investigation" into his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud — but his own lawyers are on record saying there is no such evidence that such fraud exists in the US.

Late last year, attorneys representing Trump wrote as much in court filings submitted to squash recount efforts by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein in Michigan and Pennsylvania, The Washington Post reported in December.

In the filing submitted in Michigan on behalf of Trump's campaign, Trump's lawyers made a direct statement that no evidence pointed to voter fraud existing in the 2016 election.

"On what basis does Stein seek to disenfranchise Michigan citizens?" the filing said. "None really, save for speculation. All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake."

The lawyers wrote that the purpose of Stein's recount effort was "to sow doubts regarding the legitimacy of the presidential election."

Speaking of fraud. Look who just showed up.

Comments by the authors of the study claiming non- citizens voted:

The Study's Authors Outlined The Limitations Of Their Findings. In a October 24 blog in The Washington Post, Jessie Richman and David Earnest, two authors of the study, admitted that their "extrapolation to specific state-level or district-level election outcomes is fraught with substantial uncertainty." The authors noted that the non-citizen sample they examined was "modest" and relied on self-reporting, which can create errors, and attempts to verify the accuracy of the self-reporting was imperfect and supplemented by estimates.

They admit it was flawed.

Wish I could +rep you again.

Got you covered. This is what I don't get. Trump won the election. The electoral college confirmed it. He's been sworn in. So why the hell is he even concerned with this?

The bigger message is mass third world immigration is not importing "freedom lovers" its importing Democrats. Dems, Beltway Libertarians, Neocons(SCHEUER to Judge nap.: teach our little brown brothers how to vote and how to elect people. ) are triggered by such rhetoric.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's like a basketball team winning and then the coach gives an earful to the ref.

Because losing the popular vote is a big part of the left wing narrative that he's illegitimate. Some are even saying that Hillary is the "rightful President". Hillary's popular vote victory is a big memetic boon, the biggest the Dems have had this election.

This is why. Not Ego.

It's similar to what happened in 2000 when Bush won a close election. What that means is approximately 50% of the voters put him on office, and the other 50% voted against him. Bush and even Obama who won by higher margins acknowledged this in their statements and actions after the election. Trump is doing something else, like going around saying he won a landslide. All this does is piss them off, so they poke at his insecurities.

Donnie should be schooling these dolts with a 6th grade civics lesson on the electoral college.

It's because Trump doesn't really feel like he won, he feels cheated out of it. The popular vote was supposed to be his Trophy but the left is going to call him a cheater for the next X amount of years. He then has to create some sort of fantasy that appeals to him, and then encourages others to placate to his fantasy and punishes them when they don't. I just hope Trump doesn't start using his NSA powers to go after his critics over the internet.

States are already trying to make new laws to crack down on "violent protesters".
