Even in response to a federal judge, the Trump campaign was unable to provide evidence of voter fraud in its crusade against drop boxes in Pennsylvania.

Last week, a Trump-appointed federal judge ordered the campaign to show examples to back up their argument that drop boxes, where voters can deposit their ballots, will open the door to widespread voter fraud.

In their response, campaign lawyers declined to do so.

“Neither the original Complaint nor the Amended Complaint contains an allegation that ‘ballot harvesting,’ ‘manipulating and destroying ballots,’ double voting, and/or voter fraud from mail-in and absentee ballots actually occurred during the Primary Election,” the lawyers wrote.

“The claims asserted by the plaintiffs do not hinge on evidence of voter fraud actually occurring,” they added. The campaign argued that though it has no proof that fraud of this type has happened, it could — and that’s grounds enough for barring the boxes.

It hasn't happened but it COULD happen therefore we must stop people from voting NOW!!! I wonder what "lah skool" these morons went to.

Any accusations that Trump directs at anyone, even at our election system can be disproved when push comes to shove and they're asked by a Federal judge to produce evidence. But, he doesn't care, the idea has already saturated into the minds of his base and no matter how strongly it's disproved as nothing more than propaganda, it doesn't matter to them, it's already been 'baked into their cake'.
 
Voter fraud to Donald Trump and the GOP is any vote cast for Joe Biden and Democrat candidates.

Legitimate mail-in voter fraud is minuscule.
 
It’s just so weird that after telling everyone how rampant fraud is they couldn’t produce a single shred of evidence.

Did...did they lie to us? Again?
 
Trump is the only one committing voter fraud.

That is the flip side of calling all you dont want fake. Inserting thoughts to fill that void. Trump has his flock hypnotized. And their identities are now inextricably intertwined with Trump.

All alleged voter fraud is either miniscule or non-existent. But since lying and cheating are the only ways Republicans can win that's going to be their entire campaign strategy. No plan for covid, no plan for the economy apart from massive tax giveaways to corporations and the rich; no health care plan other that keep telling us that a "beautiful plan that covers everyone and is cheaper and better than ever" will be unveiled "next week."

That is NOT the latest argument. The latest is, there is no PROOF there isnt, and that is the definition of fraud.

Mark Meadows claims lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud is, somehow, 'definition of fraud'

To which Meadows offered up the response that has now gone viral for its absolutely head-scratching, empty wordplay: “There's no evidence that there's not either. That's the definition of fraud, Jake."

I saw that interview with Mark Meadows and Jake Tapper and my jaw literally dropped when Mark Meadows made that comment. These men like Meadows, actually trust that their base is going to buy a statement so absurd and use that in defense of allegations of voter fraud -- and they will. Shear lunacy has overtaken a vast amount of gullible American citizens.

And if it happens and this election ends up in court battles with millions of votes not being able to be verified, trump is on record trying to prevent the unnecessary disaster the dems are insisting we have. They can enjoy the publics resentment.

Report: Trump commission did not find widespread voter fraud

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, according to an analysis of administration documents released Friday.

In a letter to Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who are both Republicans and led the commission, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said the documents show there was a “pre-ordained outcome” and that drafts of a commission report included a section on evidence of voter fraud that was “glaringly empty.”

Yeah, your Dear Dirtbag has already give up pretending he's not going to call the election a fraud if he loses and he knows he's going to lose if he doesn't get his way of preventing people from voting. Here's what he told his favorite buttboy Hannity yesterday:
"It's a horrible thing. It's a fraudulent election. Everybody knows it."
So, he no longer says that "we'll have to see" crap. He's already declared that he's not going to accept the result of the election no matter how massively he loses. You're backing a dictatorship in the making and that's treason.
 
Conman Don knows that voter fraud is not a problem. He just wants to be able to scream fraud if and when he loses the election.

He knows he's going to lose and bigly!!!. So his only hope is to sow discord and lies at a rate and quantity "like no one has ever seen." He's following the dictator playbook by chapter and verse.
 
These men like Meadows, actually trust that their base is going to buy a statement so absurd and use that in defense of allegations of voter fraud -- and they will.

It's always worked before so why not keep using it?
 
We have to keep this important fact in mind: It's not just that Dirtbag doesn't want to lose. It's because he doesn't want to go to jail. He knows process is going to kick into high gear on Jan. 21, 2021 unless he can destroy this election. Ironically, the crimes he's going to undoubtedly commit trying to bugger the election will add more federal charges on top of what NY State has in store for him. He's a crazy and desperate man. The most dangerous kind of criminal.

Actually, it’s not weird at all.

Right wing media has been full of dubious, inflated claims about voter fraud, ever since the 2000 election, which was decided by the Supreme Court.

Talk radio and Fox have promoted the voter fraud myth relentlessly for the last twenty years.

As with many other right wing memes, their claims are long on andedotes, and short of facts.

Shortly after Trump pulled and inside straight and landed in the White House, he appointed a commission to “examine” the “issue”.

It was stacked with anti immigration and voter supression activists.

As with everything else in Trump world, they moved to their real objective right away, in the ham handed style that is a Trump ADministration hallmark.

They immediately demanded the voter registration records from all fifty states.

This wasn’t entirely surprising. George W Bush became President in no small part due to a massive voter caging operation that the GOP ran in Florida in 1999, and 2000, which removed the voter registrations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge.

The operation was deemed so successful that state GOP offices ran, or attempted to run the same operation in Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin. (I may have left out a few_.

It wasn’t hard to figure out the the real objective of the commission was to run a national voter caging operation, or at the very least, to assemble data that could be used by state operatives.

Over 30 states outright refused to comply with the commissions demands.

And the voter fraud commission folded a few months later.

They'll keep looking for mythical "voter fraud' that doesn't exist...because that's what their idiot base demands.

They have to give them some crumbs while they rob them blind and blame the Democrats for it.

Republicans, like Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller are just doing what republicans have done for the past four years. They come up with scams like their 'we build the wall' scam, and they're using propaganda and Fox as tools to say to his base; "this is for you, we're doing this for the safety of the American people" while all they're doing is lining their pockets.

They're nothing but con men and criminals but these con men are working inside the confines and using the shield of the US Government and Trump is protected by Bill Barr. This is the strategy of this bizarre, bastardized version of what used to be the republican party. Many years ago, I was a registered Republican and this is certainly not the republican party that I belonged to, it doesn't even resemble it a little bit.

But there's always been a culture of criminality around Trump and his inner circle. It's not just Steve Bannon who was chief strategist to Trump, it's men like Paul Manafort who was his campaign manager, Rick Gates his deputy campaign manager, Roger Stone who was Trump's close political confidant, it was Michael Cohen his personal attorney, it was Michael Flynn, Trump's National Security Advisor. It's like who was close to the president that hasn't been indicted at this point?

These men aren't just little pesky peculiarities in the Trump circle, they're prominent features. And every time another crooked guy gets caught, Trump claims "I don't really know them", "we're not really close".

There's no light that shines between Trump and all of these criminal men. Federal and state prosecutors have even been investigating Donald Trump personally because he tried to deduct his $130,000 payment to a porn star. The Federal investigation mysteriously disappeared after Bill Barr came onto the scene but the state investigation did not, and they subpoenaed Trump's tax returns. The courts have ruled time and time again, including a ruling that came down just yesterday that he must turn over those documents to the state prosecutors. His lawyers have until Sept 1st to come up with another appeal and they will, but he's lost every time and the NY state prosecutors will get a court order to get them sooner or later.

Interesting how liberals keep ignoring this...

Paterson, NJ, to hold new election in City Council race marred by voter fraud charges | Fox News

Are you all guaranteeing to us that if we have universal mail-in voting, there will be no instances of voter fraud?

If there are, what is your plan? And how will you prevent the nation from degrading into chaos?

What I find interesting is on DonaldTrump.com a pop up window loads that says, "request a ballot"
Home | Donald J. Trump for President

Guess it is ok if you plan to vote for Trump.

As far as "universal mail in ballots". Some States may be ready for it, some may not. Because of CV19 I would suggest that the use of absentee ballots where someone requests a ballot be used as it has in the past. I also would suggest we have a voting week for in person voting. May help with long lines and reducing the crowds.

Years ago when Mission Impossible was on TV there was an episode about a country election that was going to be rigged. The voting machines being used had been altered to change a percentage of votes cast for the challenger to the incumbent. For those concerned about mail in voter fraud. How sure are you that the different scanners and voting machines could not be rigged?
