Not long ago, it was Democrats who claimed the election was rigged.
While serving as Ohio Secretary of State, I witnessed absurd accusations and ridiculous lawsuits from Democrats and left-wing lobbying groups aimed at undermining the credibility of the election results.
The conspiracy theories of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the overdue Gore Vidal, and liberal blogs have morphed into something widely promoted by prominent elected Democrats.
Liberal Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), who is currently running for a 27th term in Congress, has held scandalous hearings and even produced a taxpayer-funded, 142-page report detailing these tinfoil hat allegations. By honestly enforcing state election laws in a record-breaking turnout year, local election officials and I accused by Conyers of suppressing votes through “intentional misconduct and unlawful conduct.”
Conyer’s actions were a publicity stunt that got out of hand. By sowing distrust of the democratic system, liberals began to believe that President George W. Bush and senior adviser Karl Rove could control the election from their secret bunker in Texas.
In most cases, the mainstream media spread these stupid lies.
Well, how everything has changed!
Now Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is claiming the 2016 election is “rigged.” Suddenly, the political establishment, mainstream media, and liberal pundits have changed their tune.
Trump’s accusations have been repeatedly described as “dangerous demagogy,” “playing with fire,” and even “lack of patriotism.”
Dozens of Republican election officials across the country have rejected Trump’s accusations. My predecessor, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, was outraged, declaring, “I am responsible for the election in Ohio, and it will not be rigged. I will make sure of that.”
But 2004 is not 2016. I am convinced that the integrity of the 2016 election is indeed at risk.
Thousands of Hillary Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks prove her team is perfectly capable of rigging elections.
Now we have some idea of Hillary’s unethical connections to Wall Street, mainstream media, foreign despots, and even FBI agents involved in her criminal investigation. Now she’s using this immense, corrupt network to rig the election against a candidate who received more primary votes than any Republican in history.
First, the emails showed that then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was actively engaged in a strategy to steal the election for Hillary. DNC money was coordinated with Hillary’s campaign, and Hillary’s staff had final say in all DNC recruitment. We watched Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) win the popular vote in the states, only to be rejected by DNC superdelegates who happened to be Clinton insiders.
Schultz, as well as CEO Amy Dacey, CFO Brad Marshall and communications director Luis Miranda, were forced to resign after WikiLeaks exposed their work with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Then WikiLeaks revealed that Schultz’s successor at the Democratic summit was Donna Brazile, a longtime Clinton insider who had just been fired from CNN for leaking televised debate questions aimed at Hillary Clinton.
Hillary’s team brazenly rigged the debates. And while media bias in favor of the Clintons is extensive, this was a real fraud. The rig was ready, and Sanders had no chance.
In the anti-Trump campaign, we read news reports showing that Hillary’s campaign chairman is actively encouraging illegal immigrants to vote in states that provide them with driver’s licenses. In addition, a immense network of illegal immigrants has been hired to register in targeted areas, increasing the likelihood of further voter fraud.
IN Virginia, ColoradoTexas, Illinoisand many other states, voter fraud is occurring on a scale never before imagined. Thanks to drive-thru and early voting laws, many cases of deceased voters casting ballots have been uncovered. In the meantime, votes are being counted for people who lived in multiple states. One common practice that election officials see is “ballot harvesting,” in which signatures are illegally obtained for a ballot without the voter’s consent.
According to Pew Charitable Foundation 2012 report, one in eight voter registrations is significantly wrong “or invalid.” More than 146 million Americans are registered to vote, meaning at least 18 million are invalid. With nearly 3 million people registered in multiple states and 2 million deceased people still on the rolls, the opportunities for fraud are more prevalent than ever.
Hillary is good at manipulating information, and her friends in the Justice Department control her FBI investigation. If Hillary were anyone else in the government, she would not have been able to get a security clearance and would have faced stern prison time. However, WikiLeaks shows that the State Department and the White House worked closely with Hillary’s campaign to explain why she was illegally using a home email server. Not only did Hillary assist raise money for an FBI agent’s wife who was running for office, but her campaign manager was a close friend of another top agent.
FBI Director James Comey changed the course of the investigation only because of internal pressures caused by Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Now the FBI has waited so long that America will not learn the details of the newly discovered messages before Election Day.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is a criminal enterprise, and her ability to get away with corruption is unprecedented. Her electoral defeat must be greater than her corruption margin.
