Philly elections official goes off on Sean Hannity about ‘rigged’ national elections

Over the past week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has suggested on multiple occasions that the November election might be rigged against him.

Last week, Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that on "November 8, we'd better be careful."

"And I hope the Republicans are watching closely," Trump added, "or it's going to be taken away from us."

On his show Friday, Hannity echoed Trump’s claims, and cited a 2012 Philadelphia Inquirer report saying “In 59 separate precincts in inner-city Philadelphia… Mitt Romney did not get a single vote, not one.”


Meanwhile, all the banter about rigged elections got Philadelphia elections inspector Ryan Godfrey fired up. He let loose a series of Tweets early Sunday night in response to Hannity’s claims of voter fraud in Philadelphia during the 2012 election:



In his concluding tweet, Godfrey told Hannity to "f--- off, very much w/ your 2012 Philly election fraud accusations."

"It didn't happen then & it won't happen this year," he said.

(Mr. Godfrey's rant is a long one but informative, see link for extended explanation)
