For Jeff Sessions any election where black people vote is by definition rigged.

If the media (CNN, NNC, FOX) can be shown to have an effect on polls, then i would say CNN is dead against him.

CNN just shows love stories about minorities, impoverished foreigners with dreams about a CNN inspired life, and proud photos of Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

Finish off with doubtful words next to a bad photo of Trump and a story about a 7 year old Australian boy who sold enough lemonade to buy a pony and you have their front page covered.

It 's just 21st century dross and it is very biased against Trump.

Only one campaign has its insiders and surrogates as hired members of the mainstream, and it's Cory for Trump.

nobody reads polls as great as trump!


Finally, in the new ABC News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary Clinton is down 11 points with WOMEN VOTERS and the election is close at 47-43!

Trump is begging Ryan to unendorse. He needs another scapegoat now that the rigged election narrative is becoming more ridiculous with his tanking poll numbers. Sad!

http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1183a12016ElectionUpdate.pdf

edit: ok, got it now.

the gender gap was 11 points higher in september and hillary's lead is closer even while she has overall doubled her lead.

hard to believe that more women are likely to vote for trump now than before...Wink

     CNN sucks. I don't know that it is active bias though so much as the lamestream media being unable to be arsed to do any actual journalism when it can wallow in the pit of cheap sensationalism.

Democratic lawmaker from Philly promises, they would stand their ground if threatened by pro-Trump election "observers".

I have to wonder though how much this election will be hacked by Russians for Trump or cronies for Hillary.

Yep. Trump loves the blacks. He loves them so much that he spares them the trouble of staying at his apartments.

Why doesn't Trump ask Putin to send some Russian election observers? They'll likely say what he wants to hear.

Under normal circumstances, this election won't be rigged (at all).

This is just a regular talking point from the far-right populists. It also happened here in the Presidential election's runoff (with the FPÖ saying there were irregularities), but not a single case of voter fraud whatsoever has been found by the Constitutional Court.

Still, I hope the US election goes smoothly.

But don't you have to re-run the election?

yeah, cause the austrian supreme court overreacted and ruled that even the unproven possobility of one fraus vote is enough to repeat the election.

in fact this wasn't at all about this one election but about the the unwritten norm that the people who have been counting our votes had shared early results with journalists even before the official voting deadline...since decades.

every has known it and everyone could have used this knowledge since ever. the fpo is just outside of the system and wants to undermine the institutions of liberal democracy.

How exactly do you "hack" an election?

And no it can't be via hacking electronic voting machines that run on a closed network. That's only movie stuff, like hacking any type of auto or plane engine.

Why doesn't this clown give examples of polling stations where voter fraud is going on? It's all about his ego, no matter how much he loses by he's going to claim it was stolen. I guess this is why he isn't doing real interviews anymore, so he doesn't have to clarify these things (not that I trust the media to ask him real questions anyway).

The fear is that the voter registration system is set up in an online system and that hackers would delete records, making it impossible to know who was registered.

You have to remember that this is really just an extension of the voter suppression and intimidation that Republicans try every election. Also, 65+ racist white people going to black neighborhoods to cause problems at polling places is a recipe for disaster, and not necessarily for black voters. Trump clearly has no regard for the personal safety or well-being of his supporters.

Those people talk a big game but are terrified of cities and would likely never go through with it.
