2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI have seen evidence of rigged ballots already
Looking at several sample ballots from various places, I see evidence of improper attempts to influence people to vote for Hillary Clinton.
It's consistent across several states.
The way they've set up the ballots, people are given a choice between voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
I think that gives Clinton an unfair advantage.

As history has shown, voters showing up at the polls invariably screw things up for those who can't be bothered to vote.

She IS running for President, after all.

(14,565 posts)Not somebody to ridicule, but an adjustment to his score, like in golf.
When he's speaking about rigged he's essentially arguing for a higher handicap. Not particularly objectionable.

(9,888 posts)in that no one ever brings up the fact that he is unable to to demonstrate any knowledge of pretty much anything when asked a simple question. That and the fact that he is deemed to have done "pretty well" during any appearance where he manages not to have a psychotic break. In my lifetime (I'm 58) I don't think I've ever seen a cabdidate get such a free pass.

I have a Toyota Scion car -- maybe I could sue Trump for making it go down in value . . .

GREENSBORO, N.C. (The Borowitz Report)Hillary Clinton is plotting to rig the election by getting more votes than I do, Donald J. Trump warned his supporters on Friday.
Speaking at a rally, Trump detailed what he called Clintons vast conspiracy to accrue more votes than he does on Election Day.
The media wont tell you this, but Crooked Hillary is going around the country every single day, trying to get more votes than I do, he said. Thats how shes going to rig it, folks.
He called the current sexual-assault allegations against him a plot by the Clintons to draw attention away from Hillarys evil plot to get votes.
Is it just a coincidence that these accusations come up at the same time that Crooked Hillary is trying to rig the election by getting votes? he said. The way things are going, I would not be surprised at all if, on Election Day, she has many, many more votes than I do.
Theres something going on, folks, he added.
But, in a sign that Trump does not intend to take Clintons scheme to get more votes lying down, he ended his remarks with an ominous threat. If, on Election Day, Hillary Clinton has more votes than I do, I will sue everyone who voted for her, he said.
