Without evidence, Trump and Sessions warn of voter fraud in Tuesday's elections
Source: MSN/Washington Post
President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday issued strong warnings about the threat of voter fraud in Tuesday’s elections, echoing the president’s baseless claims that massive voter fraud marred his 2016 election and prompting accusations that his administration is trying to intimidate voters.
In a tweet early Monday, Trump said that law enforcement has been “strongly notified” to watch for “ILLEGAL VOTING.” He promised that anyone caught voting improperly would be subjected to “Maximum Criminal Penalties.” Sessions, in a statement laying out the Justice Department’s plans to monitor ballot access on Election Day, said “fraud in the voting process will not be tolerated. Fraud also corrupts the integrity of the ballot.”
In remarks to reporters on his way to a campaign rally in Cleveland, Trump also falsely claimed that voter fraud is commonplace.
“Just take a look,” he said. “All you have to do is go around, take a look at what’s happened over the years, and you’ll see. There are a lot of people — a lot of people — my opinion, and based on proof — that try and get in illegally and actually vote illegally. So we just want to let them know that there will be prosecutions at the highest level.”

I guess if you assume that minorities should never be allowed to vote, then you can see why Trump and Sessions see voter fraud everywhere. Thus, voter suppression is seen as combating voter fraud by keeping people from voting based on their race.

And of course their Chumpkins'.
Why didn't tRump's own Voter Fraud Commission not find evidence of voter fraud and he had to disband it a few weeks after it was put in motion. The Commission found few substatiated cases of voter fraud. I believe two of the substatiated cases involved Republicans voting more than once and/ or in more than one state. That man has a memory of a gnat, and he thinks everyone else does too.
By the way, watch. what. they. are. doing. When they are saying that there are threats of voter fraud, they mean on their side, but let's deflect.
