1. Hillary and Repub's (one and the same)

should be discarded by voters.

I am not allowed on any jurys because I am pro-Bernie. I wonder why. No, I don't, because the owners of DU have chosen to give power to Hill-ites and take it away from Bernie supporters. FU DU owners!

2. I wish people would stop saying "voter fraud"...

Voter fraud is a term Republicans use to challenge voters and say people are voting illegally.

That's pretty much the only meaning of the term.

I realize people are using the term because it's the closest term they have in the common vocabulary to express that there is some cheating in the election.

Maybe "election fraud" would fit better or sometimes voter suppression is the apt description.

This isn't directed at DU, but more so for rest of the internet. DU members are very savvy with election vocabulary and also quite good looking.

6. You are right

By the by 'voting fraud' works for me (rather than 'voter fraud').

7. We need a Voting Systems Teach-In.

Yep. This would not be voter fraud.

While the Repukelicans lie through their teeth about "voter fraud", they are using it correctly in claiming...ie: someone illegally voting...a "voter" who is a fraud.

"Election Fraud" broadly refers to efforts to screw with an election. And that can take many forms.

8. Yes, "Election Fraud" is better. Also "Vote Supression", "Voting Rights Violation", . . .

I agree, "voter fraud" is not the right term. It implies the misdeed was done by a voter, when it is typically being done by an elections official or other political actor.

Maybe "Undermining Democracy" would be a good term, too!

12. Well, it is the wrong term.

Voter fraud is when a voter does something wrong.

Election fraud is when election officials or the state does something wrong.

3. Color me surprised.

4. REALLY, America ????????????????????

Is THIS good enough!

I dont think so

to the guy who didn't trust Cupcakes for Hillary.
Thanks for posting kenn. People need to see how it's done.

5. Name names, post the video. This is a crime, if true. The "precinct leader"

at the "friend's table" is obviously identifiable, so why protect the guilty?

9. It likely did not happen

Vagueness often indicates untruth.

[Impedimentus]

17. Really - How about the content of those big $$$ speeches?

"Vagueness often indicates untruth."

Since you opened the door, in my opinion, Hillary Clinton is often very vague, especially about the content of those high priced speeches to the banks and Wall Street, but that's just my opinion.

11. Yes, w/ no names or video or photos, etc.

...the claim is suspect.

[marions ghost]

16. Yep photos or further evidence needed

but it is certainly possible.

10. ELECTION fraud.

Voter fraud would be if a voter was trying to vote twice or some such. This is ELECTION fraud.

[Ellipsis]

13. Yes indeed. An attempted theft by an over cupcaked enthusiatic Hill bot caught up...

in the heat of the moment and an intense sugar buzz.


Nothing coordinated I'm sure.

[marions ghost]

15. That's why it's believable to me

I've seen these little "helpers" where I am...

It would be good if they would post the video of her --as far as believing this. But I can tell you, stuff like this DOES happen. How much is coordinated, you ever know. If these things were ever really prosecuted, it would stop.

Actually this was in WA, not HI, the commenters are saying.

[Beacool]

18. Is Hillary winning in HI?

Just asking because every time she wins a state someone yells voter fraud. I don't recall Hillary's supporters yelling fraud when Sanders wins.

19. Here's the video

all 3 seconds of it. And it was Washington not Hawaii.
