    Some people say President Obama told illegal aliens they can vote.  It is reported that 3,000,000 did just that in California.  What about Arizona?  What about Florida?  How can that happen?  The Governor of North Carolina is suspicious about the vote that took him out of office.  He wants a recount.

      Is this from a reputable source or more internet conspiracy theory drama?

      I go by the old adage don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. I would think if they knew now that illegals were voting they'd have known before the election.

      I honestly think the right is setting the stage to claim the election was stolen if the recounts go against them.  Too bad though. It wouldn't create as much news if it does. Republicans aren't big into rioting.

        Jerry Brown Signs Bill That Could Let Illegal Aliens Vote

        http://www.breitbart.com/california/201 … iens-vote/

        Any person who renewed or secured a driver’s license through the DMV may now register to vote, or choose to opt out of doing so. Because illegal immigrants are now eligible for obtaining driver’s licenses, they could be allowed to vote in elections if the Secretary of State’s office fails to verify their eligibility properly.

        Brown and the California Democratic party know exactly what they are doing; as a Public Policy Institute survey showed, among unregistered adults, 49% lean toward the Democratic Party and 22% toward the Republican Party. Any bill permitting illegal immigrants to vote would cement the Democratic Party’s hold on California.

          Interesting.  Politics in America, and particularly liberal states, has become a game.  A game where ethics, honesty, the law and integrity are all set aside in order to get what will benefit those in power.

          This type of thing (playing games with voting rules in order to gain political advantage in this case) is exactly why Trump was elected.  And California, as an entire state, is continuing the same garbage the people of the nation rejected.

          The Democratic party appears to have learned little, at least at this point.  Perhaps they need a stronger lesson than losing both houses and presidency?

            I thought your name is on a list of registered voters.  You go in, sign the register, show your id and vote.  If that is the case, how can there be illegal voting.

            If that is not the case, the voting system IS a mess!  I'm in California.  I hadn't heard of the issue until an hour ago when I looked it up.

            I've been voting absentee for 20+ years.

              Liberals have long fought any state requiring id in order to vote.  The theory is that poor people are too poor to get a free ID, or that they are too stupid to do so.

              But California; apparently that list is generated from drivers licenses.  If you have a license, you're on the list of registered voters; all you have to do is produce that license and you're in.  It's a great way to get lots of new liberal voters - that they are not citizens is beside the point.

                  This isn't true. I live in North Carolina where recently voter ID was passed. We had to show ID for one election, and then a judge overturned it in time for it to NOT apply for the presidential election. Not all states require voter ID, although IMO, they should.

                I have a girl who works for me. She is a felon. She is not supposed to vote. She received a voter ID card in the mail. Apparently everyone who gets a driver's license in this state gets a voter card. I know, for a fact, that illegals have driver's licenses in this state. So, it appears that it is possible for an illegal to vote. It is possible for a felon to.

                It would be nice if everything was on the up and up, legal and according to laws on the books. Life is not that simple. I find it hard to believe that millions of illegals can vote but it appears that it may be possible. It is certainly something to check into and ensure it isn't happening. I realize as a Democrat you wouldn't consider that to be in the best interests of your goals but right is right. Isn't it?

                  Some states also allow illegals to get drivers' licenses. Having a driver's license does not automatically allow you to vote.

              In Missouri, when I voted, I took in my voter's card. I tried to give them my ID and they said they didn't need it, but if I ever didn't have my voter's card that they could scan my ID. I am confused on how an illegal could get around this other than stealing a card?

                  Alan Schulkin, Commissioner of the Democratic Board of Elections in NYC, talked about De Blasio giving out ID cards (in lieu of a drivers license) that can be used for anything, and didn't vet the people to see who they really are.  That anybody can go say, I'm Joe Smith, I want an ID card. That, there's lots of fraud, not just voter fraud.  He said, that is why he is getting more conservative as he gets older.

          This is such a critical time in our country.  This has really caused many to wake up, I hope, and many to be so concerned.   When I saw the OP, my mind went immediately to the first video you linked there.  The President, giving comfort to a woman that is concerned about not being treated the same way. I was shocked and saddened.

          Ideas, including politics and the rule of law in our societies, if not true and good, will always struggle to meet up to, or beat all the lesser ideas.  That reality is not within the power of anyone.  Thus, throughout history, those with bad or lesser ideas need to grasp SO much for power.  Sheer power can not make a bad idea or lots of bad ideas good ones, but they can with brute force MAKE people comply in an immoral way. Good and truthful ideas tend to have a much smoother path, on their own.

          Even kids know that when a side needs to cheat to win, they are not really the winners.  In our greater case, everyone would lose, because we are talking about our country here.  We are talking about our families, our future on this planet, and for our kids and posterity.

          It was and is very very critical, that they engage a war in the minds of everyone on all the sides, but especially those that could be drawn in to believe in the horrors of the other side. Create a great set of false ideas.  It is unfortunately working like a charm on so many, and it is really scary.  I think or hope, that it has shaken many up to wake up and realize, why do we feel like the other side is almost alien to my way of thinking. 

          What we can know for sure, is that the side most engaged in cheating to win and being so dishonest, is the side that is likely to continue cheat to win.  In office or not. When allowed free reign, I think we haven't begun to really understand the consequences.  Its a time to do a history refresher also.  Well we don't have to, but to our own detriment perhaps.

              "Critics note that a Harvard team in 2015 had responded to the study, calling it "biased." But that report included this gem: "Further, the likely percent of noncitizen voters in recent U.S. elections is 0."

              Really? That's simply preposterous, frankly, as anyone who has lived in California can attest. Leftist get-out-the-vote groups openly urge noncitizens to vote during election time, and the registration process is notoriously loose. To suggest there is no illegal voting at all is absurd."

              "But there is evidence to back Trump's claims. A 2014 study in the online Electoral Studies Journal shows that in the 2008 and 2010 elections, illegal immigrant votes were in fact quite high."

              "some states are so notoriously slipshod in their controls (California, Virginia and New York — all of which have political movements to legalize voting by noncitizens — come to mind) that it would be shocking if many illegals didn't vote. "

              '"We find that some noncitizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and congressional elections," wrote Jesse T. Richman, Gulshan A. Chattha, both of Old Dominion University, and David C. Earnest of George Mason University.'

              "Yes, there is room for skepticism of any claim that's made. But every vote cast by someone who isn't by law permitted to vote disenfranchises American citizens. The charge should at least be taken seriously."

                  How is the abstract being twisted by the article?

                  The other study in the Fortune article is this one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/won … lots-cast/

                  The professor states:

                  requirements to show ID at the polls are designed for pretty much one thing: people showing up at the polls pretending to be somebody else in order to each cast one incremental fake ballot. This is a slow, clunky way to steal an election. Which is why it rarely happens.

                  I’ve been tracking allegations of fraud for years now, including the fraud ID laws are designed to stop. In 2008, when the Supreme Court weighed in on voter ID, I looked at every single allegation put before the Court. And since then, I’ve been following reports wherever they crop up.

                  To be clear, I’m not just talking about prosecutions. I track any specific, credible allegation that someone may have pretended to be someone else at the polls, in any way that an ID law could fix.

                  So far, I’ve found about 31 different incidents (some of which involve multiple ballots) since 2000, anywhere in the country. If you want to check my work, you can read a comprehensive list of the incidents below.

                  Is that the same type of voter fraud that would occur with illegals voting? I was under the impression that illegals voting would not involve pretending to be someone else to vote.

                  Good!  You agree then, that illegals (or the dead, perhaps) have a vote count greater than zero.  Which is all I said, isn't it?  Notice that "Which is why it rarely happens." means that it does happen.  Not never - "rarely" does not mean zero, but instead some positive number.

                    NY law says you cannot ask anybody for an ID, the Commissioner doesn't agree with that, because he wants his vote to count...but then does nothing about the voter fraud.  He says he can see a lot of fraud, not just voter fraud. Muslims can vote with burkas on with their faces covered, and no one knows who they are.  They could vote several times.  "Governor de Blasio doesn't care."
                    The Commissioner doesn't think much of the "liberal" thing.

                    But that total of 31 incidents cited earlier would still qualify as the 0% mentioned in the other article. For example if the percentage was 0.01 they would round it down to 0. So in terms of percentages zero doesn't have to literally mean zero. I have no clue of the actual stats and being from Canada I have no dog in this fight (even though Trump does scare a lot of Canadians, and many of us really liked Bernie because in many ways he was like a Canadian politician), I'm just saying fraud could exist but not be wide spread enough to have any blip on the radar.

                I live in California and honestly have never heard non-citizens urged to vote.  I've never seen anything written or televised to that effect.  Maybe it is done individually or to an audience of non-citizens.

              That's the introductory sentence to set up the justification for the study's creation. Many scientific articles begin by introducing the question or problem as understudied or having unreliable data, in order to present their new work as the solution.

              With that in mind, read the conclusive statement of the abstract:

              We find that some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections. Non-citizen votes likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.

          WND - The tagline for the TV arm of WND is: "Wherever Christians and conservatives meet, WND TV has you covered." So biased by its own description.
          InfoWars - Enough said
          Twitter - Enough said
          Youtube (Fox News clip) - Enough said
          Youtube (a Donald Trump speech) - Enough said
          And some claims made in a study, the methodology and statistics of which are being challenged.

            Remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to step down as DNC head, she was busted by Wikileaks email dumps.  And, some other very guilty people in Clinton's campaign camp got fired or had to step down, I don't remember their names at the moment, but could supply them, they are on some of those videos telling all.  lol

            O'Keefe was responsible for blowing the top off the ACORN scandal a few years ago, also.

              *   http://www.newsmaxtv.vegas/huuuge-nevad … han-acorn/

              December 1, 2016

              Today, Megan Barth interviewed Republican Assembly Candidate for District 15, Stan Vaughan, with actual proof of massive voter fraud in his Clark County district. Vaughan brought into the NEWSMAXTV Las Vegas studio and laid it out for all to see, US postal service certified returned mail from 9,200 voters in District 15. Many of the people who were listed as deceased are still on the active voter rolls today. Many of the returned mail came back with 5 people living in a vacant lot with no mail receptacle.

              A total number of 17,086 votes were cast in District 15 for both Republican and Democrat candidates. 9,200 voters on the voter rolls who, by law, should not be on the voter rolls is a huuge discrepancy.

              Megan Barth said “The Main Stream Media attacked Donald Trump this week for claiming there were millions of illegal votes cast. Well it appears Nevada, which has voted for the winner of the Presidency for the past 108 years may have been stolen and must be investigated by the Feds. Not Obama feds but incoming Attorney General Jeff Session must investigate this issue.”

      While America was asleep at the wheel former president Bill Clinton negotiated with Canada and Mexico the removal of Americas' sovereignty creating the North American Union. As such the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed...Illegaly, I might add. There is no more America and there are no Mexican or Canadian 'illegals' living here. As such any Mexican or Canadians living in the U.S., whether or not they are a 'citizen' of the U.S., are allowed to vote. This is also why pres. Obama did nothing to 'close' the borders and ultimately urged the so-called 'illegals' to vote. In consideration of these points there is no voter fraud as it pertains to 'illegals' and it wouldn't matter anyway as the people absolutely DO NOT elect the president on election day so why not let illegal aliens vote. I've asked before and I'll ask it again...How is it in America, that people do NOT know that their votes on election day do not elect the president? It's mindboggling to say the least.

      As far as local election voter fraud is concerned, the first thing that should be realized is that local elections decide the electoral college seats...Of which elect the president. Redistricting makes voter fraud irrelevant but is the real reason why any particular presidential candidate gets elected. So the real voter fraud is the system itself.

      Since my first prediction of Trump becoming president(part two of which is yet to come) has come true, I'll make another one; The U.S. dollar will be phased out and replaced by the Amero within the next four years. For those who don't believe it...Make sure you vote in the next presidential election as I'm sure you'll still believe that your vote for the president matters.

      As much as most people refuse to believe it, the U.S. is now part of the North American Union and once the Amero replaces the dollar the transition will be complete.

Until people realize how profitable these deep divisions are (in a few different ways); and that ALL of us are subject to various forms of manipulation to ensure a continuing divide - there will be no unity; and that’s the way they want it. Since the election, Trump has ignored trying to unify the country - while continuing to do everything he can to fracture America right up the middle of every possible dividing line he can think of.

        Too many of us have been driven 'right' or 'left' with not nearly enough of us marching down the middle. The chasm that exists through both America & The World is a lot more simple than most people realize.

      I can see that people still have their heads up their rear ends! I've already said how; America, Canada and Mexico are now one region, the North American region. It doesn't matter anyway, we don't elect the president so all the hootin' and hollerin' in the world won't change anything. If 3 million illegals voted, so what? What people really should be concerned with is the fact that an illegal immigrants vote for the president has the same power as a legal citizens-NONE, basically meaning there are no 'illegals'. I would suggest (although I know pointlessly) that people research what the writers of the constitution really thought about 'the people'. You'll be very unpleasantly surprised. And last but not least, a large number of Americas forefathers were NOT christian. They did, however, believe in a higher power. The free masons, from way back then to today knew and know this. Once the people of today get a grip on this the sooner they'll understand why christianity gets a raw deal when it comes to the media. So, what it all boils down to is that if anyone is unsatisfied or dissillusioned with America or its processes there are but two things you can do; leave or get over it and go about your daily business as usual. There are millions waiting to move in and take your place.

                If you are talking about Jake interviewing Trump, yes I saw the interview. It was quite pathetic, and quite telling. Trumps attitude toward a Mexican American judge who was born in Indiana exemplifies the racist Euro-American. It's all about the one-way street. If a black man was saying the same thing about a white judge you know there would be a host of Hubbers screaming that the black guy was playing the "race card" , and that it was all about "victimology". But here we see that when the shoe is on the other foot, the white guy is screaming "I'm a victim! It's not fair!" This is just one more reason why I have long since lost patience with the Sons of the Pioneers. They talk the talk ... but they can't walk the walk. God help 'em if the Islamic Jihad Society enslaves the white race for about 400 years. I seriously don't think the racist could survive.

                I don't need to tell you or anyone else how many people of color have faced all white juries, white judges, and white lawyers in this country over the ;last 250 years. But the racist doesn't see a problem with that. They see nothing wrong with that whatsoever. But that is just one more glaring contradiction that helps to destroy the fiction that "This Land is Your Land ... This Land is My Land ..La,La La". No,  this may be "my land" according to God, but according to Billy Bob, Daisy Mae, or Donald Trump, I don't belong here, and I am certainly not wanted. But don't worry. I'm gonna stick around and remind them of their wonderful heritage at least for another 500 years.

      Glad you asked.  Illegal voting shows it's ugly head when you realize that the reason the popular vote is different from the Electoral College is that the electoral college does not consider the illegal votes being cast. 
      The electoral college allows for a certain number of residents within a certain congressional district.  If more votes are cast in that district than what the college allows, then those votes are not counted in the college, but they are illegally counted in the popular vote.
      This was painfully evident when certain city districts had more votes cast than they had registered voters!  What's up with that.

      It isn't hard to realize that there must have been millions of votes cast illegally.  Read up on how the Electoral College works, you will see what is happening.

        I think you're giving the electoral college far more ability than it has.  It is, after all, no more than a collection of electors from each state, with the state, not the college, assigning electors to represent it.  The college does not count votes, does not identify voters or qualify them; it's sole purpose is to represent the state they are from in casting votes according to the will of the people there.

        Not to worry. Considering the recent hold out on the Walter Scott jury who refused  to convict a racist cop for shooting a black man in the back 5 times who was unarmed and running the other way, I think it is safe to say that all of the closet racists, which constitute a large portion of the mainstream, can at least let their hair down and relax during the Trump years. And besides, I feel that white racists are people too, and that they should be able to articulate their evil expressions in a truly free society.

          Interesting take and spin.  According to the news, the jury was unable to come together to assign a punishment and a mistrial was declared.  That a crime was committed was agreed upon by all 12.

          Was it because of the possibility of capital punishment?  I don't know and you don't seem to care - it's more important to assign racism as the cause for a non-existent action than to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

            Once again, in your rush to attack the superior intellect, you failed to do your research. And so, I am only further elevated above the common man. The fact is, the judge gave the the jury the option of charging the miscreant cop with murder or manslaughter. Manslaughter does not involve capital punishment. One juror out of the 12 refused to find the defendant guilty on either condition. Let us also keep in mind that  North Charleston awarded a  $6.5 million settlement to the family of Walter Scott. If city officials did not feel that a crime, and a grave injustice had been committed , I hardly think they would have awarded Walter Scott's family one thin dime. Otherwise, if the city of Charleston is simply settling frivolous claims with the high dollar, then I'm on my way to Charleston to fall down a flight of stairs at a shopping mall.

            If not racism, then what would you call it? In the video everyone can see the cop shooting the unarmed man in the back 5 times and then planting evidence ( the taser) to justify the murder. What are you suggesting is the reason, if not racism?

            Here are some possible alternative reasons to help out the man from Idaho:

            1. Walter Scott was an alien from outer space posing as a black man who threatened to introduce a lethal virus into the atmosphere. After making the traffic stop, the killer cop, using his psychic abilities, saw the future and understood that he had no choice but to kill Scott in order to save millions of innocent people.

            2. Walter Scott was the anti-Christ who was about to deceive the entire world and take us all to hell.

            Yes, as I have just  pointed out, there are clearly other motives besides racism.

              "If not racism, then what would you call it?"

              Because you cannot find any possible reason to hold out on a jury means the juror is a racist?  While that works fine for a racist making the call, the rest of us can find a dozen reasons to refuse to convict.  I know - I sat on a jury with one holdout (also a mistrial) and only one juror could understand why the not guilty verdict.  But it wasn't racism - every juror, the defendant, the judge and both lawyers were all white.  Still, one juror refused to convict.

              But it is obvious to a racist, isn't it, that racism is always the reason a white man is not guilty of something?

Once a person dies, the first time they don't show up at the polls their name is taken off, usually from when the coroner takes their SS # and reports the death.

A gracious, normal person who won would not have led another round of "lock her up," He would have said, "My opponent fought a good fight, and I wish her the very best." George W. Bush did that for Obama, and so on down the line. The man is so ignorant I can't stand it. It's reality TV to him. He has no clue how to run this country.

        Challengers at the polls? How does that work in big cities, I wonder.

          It works because you get enough or as many people who live in your district to sit there all the time the polls are open. They question anyone who is not recognized, or if they are not in the rolls or have not voted before, have to prove who they are. That's how it works on the East Coast. The challengers are paid for the day, I believe it's $100.00, but its from 6AM to 8PM.

          I wondered that, too.  Especially the part where if you're not recognized personally by the challenger you don't vote.

          While I've always produced a drivers license (through at least 4 different voting stations in two different states), I've never been challenged.  No one checks my signature (though I do sign) and certainly I've never recognized a single poll worker in my life. 

          Seems that this "Most communities have challengers at the polls, and know if someone they do not recognize is trying to vote." is just so much malarkey.  Or perhaps that location has had considerable voter fraud in the past?

Members of the local Democratic Clubs are the challengers at the R districts, and Members of the local Republican clubs are challengers at the mostly D districts.

              It may be.  But I've lived in communities from less than 1,000 to about 100,000 now and not a single one has used that procedure or anything like it.  The current precinct is small enough that I've never waited more than 5 minutes to vote and generally walk straight to the ballot table.  I don't think it's common at all to actually put any effort into verifying ID.

                LOL, could be. But it's true. I was the Treasurer of my local D club for around 10 yrs. and my husband was the Sergeant at arms. When the polls close, local people go to the districts, ( we only have 8) and actually collect the tape with the votes on them and count them at the election HQS. It's a town of only 10,000 where I live though. But it's orderly and fast. We don't have long lines. We used to vote in schools until all the school shootings, now it's in the Firehouse, Vet's Hall, places like that.

                A person who never voted in one of our districts would be questioned or asked for ID of some sort. We all have to sign in to a large book and you sign under all the other voting times you signed. We mix up R's and D's, because it depends on how many people will volunteer to be challengers.

                    The challenger way we do it in NJ isn't threatening. Usually it's any local person who needs to earn a little extra cash, they sit and read and quietly watch who comes in to vote. The voters sign a book, and if they never voted before, the challenger might ask for ID, or look at a list to see if the person is registered to vote. It's not intimidating.

                    When the polls close, one D and one R go to each district, and together we get the results, both checking each other to make sure we both have the correct R figure and D figure for votes. The districts get added together when they get reported to who is at the top of the party chain in the district, then to the County reps for both sides. It's all peaceful and calm, everyone is treated with respect or at least decency (we've had a lot of battles over the years). Normally nobody gets challenged and it's a boring job. But I've never heard of anyone unregistered trying to vote, and lived here almost 30 years.

          Well, as I understand it, the Green Party is organizing recounts in three states. Those will be actual recounts and will provide solid evidence, one way or the other on the accuracy of the vote. I can't imagine anyone will challenge the recount.

          Wild speculation of the WND kind is not evidence.

          What is at stake is America's relationship to the truth here.

          My concern is that this willingness to sacrifice the truth, currently eating into US values, spreads. The Brexit campaign in the UK was marred by glaring falsehoods. Its beginning to feel as if the Enlightenment never happened.

            I agree that this is a tremendous problem.  But another one, just as large, is the insistence that the ends justifies the means, and whatever it takes to get the results wanted is acceptable.  We see it in Bexit as well - when the vote didn't go as desired immediate cries for a complete re-vote arose, as the people obviously case their votes in error, or without knowing what they were voting for.  And when Trump was elected a recount is necessary to get someone else.  With the entire political structure against him, it is almost certain that when enough "recounts" are done he will lose to Clinton - if the states chosen don't provide the necessary "proof", more will be added until it does. 

            It is, at the bottom, modern politics at work, and one of the big reasons Trump was elected in the first place.

              Nobody asked for a recount of the vote, at the time. No one doubted that it was accurate.

              Since the vote, the Conservative government has repeatedly, said 'Brexit means Brexit', 'the people have spoken' and so on. The Labour Party has not challenged the vote or declared an intention of opposing Brexit.

              A couple of aging former Prime Minsters have suggested a second referendum but that is not going to happen unless, perhaps, there is massive popular demand (hard to imagine).

            I am interested in the truth but I honestly think most in the fray are most interested in discovering truth which supports their position. I think that to believe no illegals voted in a national election is too naive to believe. The question of how many is important to determine. If it is a high number and it is swaying the outcome of some elections that is a problem which needs to be corrected. I realize democrats cringe at the thought of anyone believing anyone might believe any did.

            As I said. Getting a driver's license in this state also causes a voter card to be mailed. Automatically. I'd be curious how those who are not allowed to vote are monitored. I would have loved for the girl I work for to have gone down and tried. All they do when you walk in to vote is look at the I.D. given (I handed over a driver's license) and compare it to the rolls they had on the table. I know these people and I know how the government of this county works. It isn't the most efficient or well managed.

            So you know, I have no problem with any recounts, anywhere in the U.S. Nothing wrong with double checking results, as long as the U.S. taxpayer doesn't have to foot the bill.

        Maybe I'm missing your meaning, but I'm puzzled... Why would this situation be blamed on Hillary and  drive people to Trump? While I realize that there were many many people in the gay community who voted for Trump, I really think most Millenials were not aware of the party he is attached to. It seemed to me that a lot of people were voting just 'for him' and not even considering his political party. They like Trump because he said that anyone could use any bathroom in his tower. Whatever. The Republicans are (currently) founded on the ideals of Christian militants who are not even SORT of 'gay-friendly', etc. You don't vote FOR people who are adamantly against your very existence - at least, you shouldn't and probably wouldn't if you knew better.

        I agree with you that this is a ridiculous situation; but Christians are the ones who make such a big deal about these same-sex issues when they should be non-issues, by now. I mean, what do you care if you think someone is going to go to hell because they're gay? Mind your own business; and stop judging people and claiming yourselves to be more 'worthy' than those perverted 'sinners' - and maybe 'the left' (which is an all-inclusive group of all races, genders & sexual orientations) might stop pushing back so hard against stuff like this. Its a two-way street.

        Hillary lost because of racism & misogyny. Its plain as day. The few people who came out to vote (mostly white men); came out to make sure Hillary DIDN'T win - very few actually voted because they thought Trump's policies were 'the best ones'. It was mostly spite - and oh yeah, emails! The rest of the country stayed home because they didn't want to make a choice between the two - which, is still a vote. "Nope, I refuse to vote for that crook Hillary and I don't care if Trump wins - it would serve her right!"

        If that exact same email scandal had happened to a male politician 1) it would have been buried among a lot more devious scandals than Hillary has under her belt, and barely brushed over; and 2) a candidate like Bernie would not have had a shot at the Democratic nomination to begin with.

        Bernie supporters couldn't vote for Hillary before Trump became the GOP nominee (its not like Bernie could run under his own party and win); so guess who they voted for? (Yeah, most also voted for Obama 2x.) They are the uber-liberals that you all keep complaining about. They are the ones who want absolutely everything to be free for everyone. They want not just Obamacare, they want free Universal Healthcare for absolutely everyone, as well as free college, etc. THESE people SPLIT the Democratic Party in HALF during the nomination process - Bernie was almost the nominee! (Kind of like how Trump was successful in hijacking the GOP.)

        It will be interesting to see how things play out with all those uber-liberals & ultra-conservatives in the same bed for four years. Of course, since Trump is pretty much re-establishing the GOP war regime - libs are going to find out just how much fun they can be. I hope you all remember whose fault it was when/if the time for saying 'I told you so' ever comes.

          Just want to point out that 'I told you so' doesn't mean much when the only other option was Hillary because the logical response will be 'it could have been worse'.

          Also, your defense of those who would have people lose their jobs simply because they are Christian can be countered with the same comment you made 'Mind your own business; and stop judging people'. As you said, it is a two way street. Two wrongs do not only not make a right, what they usually end up doing is setting stage for a whole lot more perceived wrongs.

          It is not plain as day that Hillary lost because of racism and misogyny. As long as that is the belief of some we can't move forward as a nation to address the real reasons Hillary lost. Hillary quite possible could have lost to a two headed pony from a sex show in the Philippines. If that was the only opponent fielded against her. Would we then have claimed she lost because of sexual perversion? Hillary represented all that was wrong with Washington and there is so much wrong there, so many people are completely and irrevocably disgusted, that her winning would have been an uphill battle against anyone or anything.

          None of this equates to spite against Hillary. This is karma. Long overdue karma. Anyone complaining that she was treated different than any man might have been ignores the fact that Hillary played the game as well (if not better) than any man in Washington. She paid the price for playing the game. A game we, the people, never asked to be played..consistently complained about politicians playing it...and remained completely ignored for many years while this country went deeper into debt without clear evidence that our tax dollars were being spent in a manner which was in the best interests of all.

          I will say that had Obama care been well planned, well implemented and had achieved the things promised by the administration there might have been some type of reprieve for Washington. But, it lived down to the worst of all of the criticisms and it ended up pushing many moderates to the right.

          I do agree with you that the next four years will be interesting. And, I predict that if they don't learn to work together, put our interests first through reasonable and intelligent compromise because that is what will best serve America. We are a nation of liberals, conservatives and all the rest of us in between with a little liberal and a little conservative in our views....and do everything in their power to turn our government around; what we saw this election cycle will just be the tip of the iceberg.

          My point is that people are extreme on both ends.  Anyone in the middle that doesn't believe what an extreme believes is demonized.  That causes people in the middle to weigh that extra situation and vote for one extreme versus the other.

          All this couple did was appear in a Christian magazine.  Now there is a move to get them off of television.  They have been Christians the whole time their show was on.  What changed other than them being in a Christian magazine.  It is their First Amendment right to choose any religion they want to be part of.

          Maybe my example was a little abstract.  I was trying to talk about things that drive people to one end versus the other.

        One of the wonderful things about Christianity in times gone by was the believe that all truths led to God. This made Christians very careful in their evaluation of facts. Scholars, jurists, philosophers and commentators were scrupulous in their pursuit of truth. Even ordinary folk generally held that dishonesty was the work of Satan.

            In the UK, broadcasters (not newspapers) are bound by law to report the news honestly and without bias. This means presenting the facts in a straight forward way without spin and making sure that the opinions of all parties involved in the news item are fairly represented.

            Any broadcaster who gets it wrong will have at least one of the political parties on their backs, journalists will be fired, and there will be a scandal. This makes broadcast news a bit dull but pretty reliable.

            You can sink into the swamp of politics by picking up a newspaper.

            I reckon the US needs at least a few solid reference points when it comes to the dissemination of news. Dull but honest broadcasting.

Bottom line its the news agency the elderly can trust! Kind of a motto.

          Will, the "all truths" thing may have been a generic religious belief.  It was never a Christian belief.  The main thing about Christianity is that it is not something that should be forced on people.  Many go off half cocked, thinking that they are supposed to become Christians.  They are WRONG.  It is an individual/personal decision. 

          I've heard many people say they use to be Christians but are not.  They say that because they went to church, usually coerced as children.

Usually the ministers had extensive libraries to contribute.  Kind of the same way as the hospitals and charities. Im sure they educated, tended the wounds of, gave food to, gave a few bucks to an uneducated person who was suffereing from disease and rebelling against the Lord.

      Indeed. The question is why?

      Why do people seem more likely to believe what they read on the web? Is it because it's a new form of mass communication so unlike TV, radio, newspapers etc, people haven't developed the same mistrust of it as a medium? Is it because the web is a more democratized form of communication (anyone can communicate to millions of people in an instant) so people think it bypasses the various biases of the mainstream media? What's the deal? Why are people so lacking in critical thinking skills when it comes to the web and stories like those in the opening post? Is this the way it's always been, but because of the web, we get a more of a glimpse of what people are thinking?

          I like that.  Then...a knowledge filter is a fundamental feature of science and human nature, where people tend to filter out things that don't fit. So! For example in science we find that evidence that doesn't fit the excepted paradigm tends to be eliminated. Its not taught, its not disused, and people who are educated in scientific teachings don't even learn about it and can be ignorant of truths all their lives.

          We can take that to other levels.  I prefer the truth, no matter how horrible it is to learn.  Its discovery that is exciting to me, and I suppose I have detached myself emotionally to a great deal so I can research objectively.  Its liberating!

    It is difficult for a non-US citizen (legal and illegal immigrants) to vote in a US election and there's no way that 3 million illegals are pulling it off.  The only ways that a non-citizen can vote are taking someone else's voter registration card and ID and posing as that person at the polling place, or getting a voter registration card through a clerical error (which happens, but is rare.)  The first scenario does happen a lot, but it's usually citizens using their dead/elderly/invalid relatives' voter registration cards to "vote early and often."  Legal and illegal immigrants don't generally have easy access to a deceased or invalid citizen's voter registration. 

    And just because you can get a driver's license as a non-citizen doesn't mean you will automatically get put on the voter rolls.  Plenty of Permanent Residents, foreign students, K1-visa mail order brides, and other kinds of legal immigrants get driver's licenses and yet there's no epidemic of legal immigrants getting registered to vote.  If savvier legal immigrants aren't pulling off voter scams, how in the world are illegals doing it?

              Now that does jog a dim memory from 20 years ago when I registered.  I may have received a card, but if so I've never used it.  Just the DL, which is not scanned at all; the picture is compared to my face, the name found on their list and I'm given a ballot.

              How that list is generated I haven't the faintest.  I can assume it is from a 20 year old registration process, but don't know that to be true - one would think that eventually I would be asked to verify that I'm still alive, still live in the same place and have a right to vote in that precinct!  But it hasn't happened in 20 years.  (I'll add in here that a DL is good for 8 years; that's a long time to go without verification.)

              I guess the assumption is that the DMV is doing all that...but they don't, either.  They just take my money and a photo and hand over a new license.  And those checking voter registration have no idea if that license is fake or not (forged DL's are a dime a dozen in most big cities) - they just make another assumption that it is good.  Certainly a volunteer octogenarian that has trouble using an alphabetical list of names isn't going to be able to spot fake licenses.

                The 2005 REAL ID Act implements the following:
                - Title II of the act establishes new federal standards for state-issued driver licenses and non-driver identification cards.
                - Changing visa limits for temporary workers, nurses, and Australian citizens.
                - Funding some reports and pilot projects related to border security.
                - Introducing rules covering "delivery bonds" (similar to bail bonds but for aliens who have been released pending hearings).
                - Updating and tightening the laws on application for asylum and deportation of aliens for terrorist activity.
                - Waiving laws that interfere with construction of physical barriers at the borders.

                As to the first bullet, here is the documentation needed:
                - A photo ID, or a non-photo ID that includes full legal name and birth date
                - Documentation of birth date
                - Documentation of legal status and Social Security number
                - Documentation showing name and principal residence address

                And then there is this "People born on or after December 1, 1964, will have to obtain a REAL ID by December 1, 2014. Those born before December 1, 1964, will have until December 1, 2017, to obtain their REAL ID."

                It is the proof of birth and citizenship that creates the problem for a small segment of America.  A typical example is:  you are born in 1930 in Georgia, and your black.  In those days, having a record of live birth was problematic for everybody but whites, and even poor whites had problems.  Now suppose you move to North Carolina.  (The basic facts were litigated) Now, 80 years later you have to "Prove" you are an American in NC in order to vote.  How does this person easily do this given they may or may not have had a certificate of birth or, if there was one, does it still exist? 

                There is another case involving nuns who couldn't get the required ID (in Ohio or PA, I think).  Consequently, these people, and there are a lot of them, are disenfranchised by laws designed to stop something that isn't happening.

                  Pretty sure I did not provide a birth certificate in 1996 when I moved into my current state (don't think I had one until I got a passport around 2010).  A utility bill and a prior drivers license; and as that license is required to be changed the day of the move by law in my state (not enforced, obviously), don't see how a utility bill could be required.

                  Somewhere in the 80's I helped one of our employees get SS.  Black, born alongside the road and then given to a neighbor as an infant, he lied about his age to enlist in the army at 15.  Round and round and round - the SS finally accepted a handwritten line on the flyleaf of the family bible as to when he was born but it took weeks to accomplish and I doubt he could ever have done it without help.

                  All that you say is true (though someone over 80 years old is surely on SS and has a SS identity), but when you end it with "something that isn't happening" I'd be really interested in proof of that statement.  We hear it a lot, but I've never seen any documentation that anyone at all has looked at millions of voters to verify they are legal.  Not even the documentation that says they are.  No one checks every name in the registration records for validity.  I've seen where only 31 out of billions of votes was illegal, and you can believe that each and every voter was investigated to see if they were a citizen permitted to vote if you want, but I don't.  And I am positive beyond any doubt whatsoever that there were more than 31 votes out of even 1 billion that were illegal.  Incorrect voting from honest errors (wrong precinct, perhaps, or not knowing that some felons cannot vote) will be higher than that.

                  We just say it doesn't happen, and that's good enough.  Is it?

                  Hello MyEsoteric.

                  Once again I am behind the curve, I hadn't heard about the Real ID Act. I could make a joke about semi-rural living, but that probably wouldn't cover it. I just don't remember hearing about it.

                  I checked DHS's FAQs about the Act and they said the REAL ID requirements do not apply for voting or voter registration purposes. How does it disenfranchise voters?

                    I believe the concept is that if you have to provide a government ID then some people will lose the chance to vote because they are unable to obtain that ID.

        I really don't  get your obsession with illegals (and now Russians?).  Whatever voting scam an illegal could pull off a legal could do ten times better, but you are hyper-focused on the subset of non-citizens who are illegal.  The typical illegal immigrant in the US is an unsophisticated unskilled laborer from a third world country who doesn't care one bit about politics or voting.  They are simply not voting in droves. They are kind of too busy being overworked and underpaid by the law-breaking citizens who hire them.

          So it was the Russians...
          Interesting theory. The Russians are influencing undocumented American Citizens to vote. Once the Russians have forced them to vote for Trump, they then force them to get jobs that are normally done by heavy equipment. Almost brilliant in a sinister way. Once elected then Trump surrenders to a small group of undocumented communists.
