AP sources: Trump to launch panel to investigate voter fraud
Well. Looks like more voter suppression to come in the future under Trump.
It was 3 mil, not 5.
And in order to prove that Trump might be correct we have to first conduct an investigation. That is what Trump, according to the OP of this thread is wanting. You want a reason for that investigation to happen. I'm attempting to give you reasons why such an investigation should happen by showing that it is quite a reasonable deduction based on circumstantial evidence that illegals may be voting. That criteria is what we are establishing.
- Past illegal conduct (conduct that is not just being in the US illegally but other criminal activities, and no, I'm not talking about murder, rape, or drugs)
- Past general conduct
- Knowledge based on what happens, or doesn't happen, when illegals do certain things.
Would you agree that it is possible to reasonably deduct that illegal aliens would vote based on those three things if I were to give examples of each happening?
Newp. More like a solution in search of a problem.
There is no evidence that our current system has allowed for 5,000,000 illegal voters. None.
You haven't made a reasonable case that it needs changing.
Let's try and dig up some "voter fraud" irregularities ... but totally ignore the Russian-interference elephant in the room.
You would have to give evidence that would demonstrate the potential that illegal voting had occurred on such a massive scale.
All available evidence indicates that in person voter fraud is infinitesimally small.

Look, I don't know why this is so difficult for some people to accept, but Trump's claim was clearly an overblown lie, an attempt to create a political tool, from a grandstanding buffoon. There simply is no credible evidence that what he said is based in reality.
So those criteria that I mentioned means nothing? That people wouldn't see those things are reasonable deductions to believe that illegals could be voting en masse?
Key words there...."available evidence". As already pointed out, there is no check in the system to make sure that only US Citizens are voting. Since there is no check on that then there is no way to gather evidence based on current techniques used by organizations such as the link that you provided. There needs to be an indepth investigation. One which has the authority to actually check citizenship status of the votes turned in. Which no organization has ever done.
Neither you, nor I, know if its a lie or not. Much less an overblown one. There is no evidence in either direction. But there is circumstantial evidence based on illegal aliens past history of criminal actions, general actions, and widely known knowledge that it is possible that illegal aliens are voting in our elections.
Is it really all that difficult to understand that based on those 3 criteria that it is reasonable for folks to question whether or not illegal aliens are voting? That folks want this investigation based on those things?
They mean nothing to the subject that I was addressing, unless you can demonstrate otherwise. No, I don't consider it a reasonable deduction that illegals could be voting en masse.
Again, until I see something substantial that would justify it, I don't see the need for any such investigation.
I know that based on available evidence and the history of the man who stated it the likelihood that it's a lie is approaching 1.00.
And a past history of illegal activity by illegal aliens in no way, to my estimation, rises to the level of circumstantial evidence that they maaaaaay be voting illegally on some massive scale. "Look, Jorge got popped for an OC and jaywalking! OMG! HE COULD HAVE VOTED ILLEGALLY AND SWAYED THE ELECTION!"
The totality of circumstances has not risen to a level (yet) where I find those assumption reasonable or rational.
Of course there is no evidence. How can there be evidence when its not checked on whether the people voting are actually US citizens or not?
You know that I wasn't talking about "jay walking" or anything like that. I had already even stated that I wasn't talking about murder, or rape or illegal drug activity. So obviously jay walking wouldn't be a part of the equation would it?
Not that it matters. For you there is no need for an investigation because the ONLY thing that you would accept as evidence is something which cannot be achieved unless an investigation can be conducted that checks the citizenship status of those that voted. No matter how much you tout those other studies you cannot deny the fact that none of them check the citizenship status of those that vote. Which means that there is a large hole in determining whether or not illegals are voting or not. Which makes those studies useless and meaningless.

Non-citizens can't vote in elections and there is no evidence any did in the last one.
Please try again.
"Could have" doesn't mean 'did'. Not credible. Sorry.
Please try again.
You said there's no evidence. I'm giving you evidence..

Sorry, but you'll understand why no rational adult takes Breitbart seriously, nor those who cite it as credible.
And, yes, that's laughter you're hearing.
