The investigative panel found a dozen or so cases of fraud sprinkled throughout the U.S.A, but certainly not the "3 or 4 million" needed by the narcissistic Trump to prove he'd actually won the popular vote, not Clinton.
One intriguing detail, reported by the Washington Post and others, was the attempt to get a list of all voters in Texas with Spanish surnames, possible totalling 13 or 14 million.
The State of Texas refused that request.
The voter fraud that exists in the valley is aimed at manipulating the results of high-stakes, local races with low turnout, such as primary runoff elections and midterm, city, and school board runoffs. Because only a few hundred to a few thousand voters go out and vote in these races, which drops even lower during a runoff, the inclusion of hundreds of fraudulent, bought politiquera votes has historically been a deciding factor in who wins at the local level. Also, the politiqueras work the ballots to get paid. Since Presidential candidates don't pay them, they often leave those races blank, and only fill in the bubbles next to candidates who pay up.
ReplyDeleteTrump's election was not affected by the politiqueras. A few hundred votes is a drop in the bucket, incapable of swaying the outcome when hundreds of thousands of people come out to vote on a big race. High voter turnout is the antidote to voter fraud of the politiquera variety. Trump's attempt to racially identify voters under the pretense of "voter fraud", with the obvious goal of a mass purge of Hispanics from the voter rolls, is insidious. They also failed to understand or correctly identify the problem. It exists to control the outcome of local elections, not national ones, often with the apparent blessing and direct participation of local party leaders.
