[font size=5]All This Talk of Voter Fraud? Across U.S., Officials Found Next to None[/font]
.... And they underscore what researchers and scholars have said for years: Fraud by voters casting ballots illegally is a minuscule problem, but a potent political weapon. ....
Mr. Trump falsely asserted on Twitter that he would have won the popular vote Mrs. Clinton received some 2.8 million more votes if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. ....
Bogus fraud claims are not new. You call up and say there are busloads of people being dropped off in multiple parishes, and we have to check it out, even though we hear it every election, said Meg Casper, the spokeswoman for Louisianas secretary of state. We call up the precinct office and they say, No, we havent seen anything like that. ....

[font size=5]Psychiatric Professors Wonder If Trump Is Mentally Ill, Call for Neuropsychiatric Evaluation[/font]
Judith Herman, M.D. is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Nanette Gartrell, M.D., was once at Harvard Medical School, too, in an assistant professor of psychiatry role. Dee Mosbacher, M.D., Ph.D., on the other hand (read: coast), was an assistant clinical professor at the University of California San Francisco. What do they have in common? Well, these high-ranking professors in the psychiatric field have all banded together to write a letter to President Barack Obama about their concerns that President-elect Donald Trump might have a mental illness that should preclude him from the office.
Here is that letter, courtesy of the Huffington Post:
Dear President Obama,
We are writing to express our grave concern regarding the mental stability of our President-Elect. Professional standards do not permit us to venture a diagnosis for a public figure whom we have not evaluated personally. Nevertheless, his widely reported symptoms of mental instability including grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism, and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality lead us to question his fitness for the immense responsibilities of the office. We strongly recommend that, in preparation for assuming these responsibilities, he receive a full medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation by an impartial team of investigators.
.... Professors and experts have been speaking out in droves since November 8.
