Well, he's right. There's very little in-person voter fraud in America.

From Vox (yes, it's biased, but their sources seem credible):

By all evidence available, he's not wrong.

Of course any voter fraud done right you wouldn't know about in the first place... In any case, the real voter fraud going on is GOP controlled legislatures trying to disenfranchise minorities.

$hillanders is at it again, pretending the system isn't rigged in Crooked Hillary's favor. Sad!

Feel like this was supposed to be an anti-Voter ID Laws tweet, but the messaging was unclear.

Yeah, that's all he's talking about. He isn't making a statement on rigged elections.

Compared to other countries, US fraud is low. Institutionally and probably locally, there's still some serious crap.

The Caucuses are ripe for fraud, even unintentional due to their cramped/disorganized conditions when voter turnout is really high. Thankfully my state is on the way to throwing them out after both sides had massive organizational problems last time. I welcome it.
