If theres one thing Republicans know a lot about, its rigging elections, at least thats what Donald Trump supporter Roger Stone says in a column for The Hill.
Trump let the rigged word fly in July when he declared that FBI Director James Comeys recommendation not to charge Clinton was due to a rigged system. The rigged system gave way to a rigged election. Both the media and President Obama werent happy about Trumps accusations.
After citing a questionable study from Stanford, Stone turns his op-ed toward Wisconsin elections. Specifically mentioning the DIEBOLD/PES voting machines, used in most states, and how easily many voting machines can be hacked.
There is irrefutable evidence that Scott Walker and the Reince Priebus machine rigged as many as five elections including the defeat of a Walker recall election, Stone wrote, adding that a pattern that occurred in the Walker election also happened in the Trump/Cruz primary.

But if the poll numbers have him so far in the hole, it should prevent that from being possible.

We need machines that produce verified receipts that can be compared to actual votes in some way.

A link to the late Christopher Hitchens infamous report for Vanity Fair on just went on in Ohio in 2004.
Has there ever been a credible trail back to a Dem winning this way? I'm not aware of anything comparable to this:

(4,234 posts)the Repubs admitting it. If you want something done illegally you need to contract with a Republican. When they are concerned about elections, they don't mess around. They know how to find every conceivable method of deceiving and cheating the American people.
This guy sounds like he knows where the bodies are buried.
