Wisconsin Admits To Using Fake Votes To Help Trump Win.

http://liberalsociety.com/breaking-wisconsin-admits-to-using-fake-votes-to-help-trump-win-spread-this-like-wildfire/


So first we had that breaking news story about widespread voter machine hacking (and if you haven’t read those chilling details, check them out here). Well, it seems that things have gotten even more dire. Three Wisconsin counties have straight-up admitted that they committed fraud.

We must stand against him, and this guide to resisting Trump is now more important than ever!

Occupy Democrats writes that “A county in Wisconsin named Outagamie County had four precincts in the areas of Cicero, Grand Chute, Bear Creek, and Hortonville which all showed that they had fewer people overall than had voted in the presidential election. This instance, naturally, caused the Internet to fly in a fury claiming, rightly, that voter fraud was taking place. The precincts quickly adjusted their voting totals, which removed over a thousand votes from Donald Trump’s side. What a coincidence, the party which has spent years decrying voter fraud were once again benefiting from voter fraud. Dan Solomon of Fast Company was the first to point this out.”

The village clerk went on record to say, “In order to give election returns to the Outagamie County Clerk’s office as quickly as possible the Chief Inspector added together the votes from the election machine tapes. An error was made while keying the numbers on the calculator during this process resulting in an incorrect number of votes reported on Election night. The official process of tallying the votes was completed and rechecked. These vote numbers were recorded and delivered to the Outagamie County Clerk’s office the morning of November 9th. The official tally reflects the accurate votes in the Village.”

VOTER fraud was indeed committed by a few Trumpkins, but it's not really a thing, numerically.

They're ducking again. This won't be the only "error" they try to excuse.

Wish life was this simple and conclusive.

More fake news for the masses.
