NYT: How Trump’s False Voter Fraud Claims Are Used To Disenfranchise Voters | Katy Tur | MSNBC

  1. Truth it’s does not exist. The FBI details minor cases of voter fraud over decades. Summary, few, limited and not an issue that impacts. Rather the real issue is Electoral college vice majority vote, redrawing voting districts, active measure to prevent t voting.

    1. It’s all distraction. Politicians love you fussing over irrelevant issues so you forget about REAL ISSUES!
      Who wants the electoral college? I don’t know anybody except crooks!

    2. @Mark Cross -The obsolete & unfair EC needs to be fully abolished, and a large majority of voters agree. It forced us to accept the two worst and most unfit bone heads in history, Bush and now Trumputin. Between these two crooked imbeciles America has become the worlds biggest joke. We tell others how to run their elections, but can’t even run our own in a fair way! The EC is stuck in the 19th century and has set us back 150 yrs. I hope CO voters agree to join the movement to dump the EC w their Nov 3rd ballot initiative. We might be able to go w the POPULAR VOTE method by 2024!

    3. Nobody gets it. Ztrump is trying to inspire voters fraud. He’s a con man in big trouble. Repetitive Suggestive commentary is a very powerful tool to activate suckers. trump has lived his whole life like this. It’s how he’s ripped so many people off.

    4. @UCUpecTebN8IbOGCFjBqtYMw think about it, why would they say anything but that? LOL seriously, there going to tell us thousands of “uncoordinated” voting fraud incidences occur each election by both parties in one way or another. Probably not. Well, nm they told us the truth for a long time with regards to Russia and impeachment so their word is good enough still.

    5. President Trump: “We will STOP the radical indoctrination of our students and RESTORE Patriotic education to our schools! We will teach our children to LOVE our country, honor our HISTORY and always RESPECT our GREAT American Flag!!” This is why Trump will WIN!!

    1. Broke-a-hauntis should just shut up and go back to hiding in the W.H. Bunker with the lights off!

    2. **LIKE ALL BULLIES,,, TRUMP IS BASICALLY A COWARD!!!! AND WE CAN STAND UP TO HIM,, BY VOTING IN RECORD NUMBERS!!!! AND END THIS NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT!!!**

  2. Trump 2016 : “If I don’t win this election is rigged!” (Trump was found to be guilty of working with Russia)
    Trump 2020 : “If I don’t win this election is rigged!” (Trump was impeached for asking Ukraine to hurt Biden)
    Trump Sept, 29 2020: “Proud boys stand back & stand buy” “My supporters will be surveilling polling stations’

    1. BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD!
      BIDEN & HARRIS 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
      No more of this illiterate Bully!!!
      🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

    2. President Trump: “We will STOP the radical indoctrination of our students and RESTORE Patriotic education to our schools! We will teach our children to LOVE our country, honor our HISTORY and always RESPECT our GREAT American Flag!!” This is why Trump will WIN!!

  3. They cannot stand over you or intimidate you with a mail in ballot..And that is why they are trying to undermine mail voting..pretty obvious

    1. **AMERICANS WILL NOT LET THIS BULLY,, INTIMIDATE THEM,,, OR STOP THEM FROM VOTING!!!! LET’S SHOW TRUMP,,, WE ARE NOT AFRAID,, OF HIS PROUD BOYS!!**

    2. @John Edward Amen! Let’s vote in person if we can. Let’s vote by mail/absentee ballot if voting in person is not feasible. Let’s show the bully in the oval office that America will not be silenced! VOTE HIM OUT!!! 💙💙✔✔🌊🌊

    3. Also there are no voting machines in a mail in ballot. Can’t manipulate a mail in ballot. With a mail in ballot there is a paper trail. STOP these lying republicans!

  4. It’s the same narrative Trump has used all his life. If he fails, it must be somebody else’s fault. He “would have won” if only everybody wasn’t out to get him. But the scariest thing is that after awhile he actually starts believing it himself.

    1. You can’t reason with these ppl. Only reason Trump won election in 2016 when Russians released Hilary email info before election which I say Trump was behind this as he said it then to his supporters by saying “I hope Russians do find email on Hilary”. No evidence emails was ever proven. He is going to do same thing with Biden. Trump is like a mob boss. He has to pay for all this in the end. It will end very badly for him.

  5. Illinois has already started early voting in some counties. Wonder how some of them went. Y’all stay safe. Vote blue 💙

    1. Pennsylvania is having early voting, too. I voted today by hand-carrying my ballot. Some of Trump’s poll-watching goons got kicked out of Philly a couple of days ago. It was in the news and mentioned by Trump in the debate. Philly won’t stand for that interference, let me tell you. Vote Biden/Harris!

    2. So true 💯💯💯💯. VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE .

  6. Indiana, your registration deadline is up in a few days. Early voting starts next week. Please, consider country over party. Vote blue 💙

    1. Voting Blue will – Help pedo’s get away with violating children in hollywood even more so than what they are doing before potus has had them running scared, turning the us into cuba as socialism is being instituted more so than ever if biden is pres,Gun right’s gone, GOD outed completely from school’s, from law’s, ect That is what a Blue vote is for.

    2. @Lynda Vance If you don’t by now what will change when Biden wins the election, or that it will become worse when Trump wins the reelection, I can’t help you. There’s not enough bandwidth and time in my life time to write it all down. Educate yourself. There is plenty of information on the internet.

    3. devon adams are you serious with your comment? You do realize the Trump has been sued by many young women for sexual assault?

  7. Iowa, early voting starts next week. Please, vote in person if you can. Wear a mask, gloves, comfortable shoes. Let’s get that lying cheat out of the oval office and get our dignity back in. Vote blue 💙

    1. **AMEN,,, WE WON’T BE INTIMIDATED,,, BY THIS BULLY OR HIS SO-CALLED PROUD BOYS!!!! WE WILL VOTE IN RECORD NUMBERS,,, THAT CAN’T BE DENIED!!! AMERICANS HATE BULLIES!!**

  8. On November 3rd, 2020., Get ready to vote and don’t forget to get your camera phone.

    1. So true 💯💯💯💯 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE TRUMP OUT IN NOVEMBER 💪 VOTE.

  9. trump IS LYING to your face. He’s “urging” VOTER INTIMIDATION while inciting RACIAL VIOLENCE.

    1. The racial violence part I disagree with. The PEOPLE are doing that all on their own. NOBODY is making them.

    2. They better not a lot of states are watching. I’m bringing my camera and I’m calling my t.v. station. I’m going to keep my eye on the black people!!our black people are strong and brave and we must all keep an eye out for any body trying to mess with them.

  10. Mississippi, hopefully y’all got your absentee ballots. Vote so we can put this craziness behind us. Please, consider country over party. God Bless! Vote blue 💙

    1. President Trump: “We will STOP the radical indoctrination of our students and RESTORE Patriotic education to our schools! We will teach our children to LOVE our country, honor our HISTORY and always RESPECT our GREAT American Flag!!” This is why Trump will WIN!!

  11. That voter fraud argument from Trump has now officially turned the US into a 3rd world country. This is what EVERY African “leader” does when they don’t like the results from an election, and they sue to have it redone until they get the results they want. Such a sad time for our republic.

  12. And how many instances of “fraud” has he ALREADY planned to have “occur” in the coming weeks… miraculously “supporting” his “claims” 🤔🙄 he is truly a pathetic little orange man

    1. President Trump: “We will STOP the radical indoctrination of our students and RESTORE Patriotic education to our schools! We will teach our children to LOVE our country, honor our HISTORY and always RESPECT our GREAT American Flag!!” This is why Trump will WIN!!
