<br />
Setting the tone for moving forward, we have to consider many things, the biggest one is, do I keep blogging.<br />
<br />
Last night, hate and evil won over what is good in America. Last night and today, from watching speaker Ryan, very archaic America beat out new progressive America.<br />
<br />
An America chock full of wing nuts - that being the Senate, the House and the Presidency, leaves a sane America, and the world, trembling in their boots.<br />
<br />
For those whom Trump called out during his campaign, be very concerned.Our only hope, that this potential child rape case sends Trump to where he belongs.<br />
<br />
I will not ever join Trump and his basket full of deporables. I'll let him sink us into oblivion on his own. His values are not mine, his vision for a radical alt right insanity, I will never co-champion.<br />
<br />
I sit in wonderment, as to what the all powerful Oz [God] has planned for this country. So it is He that I have to lean on for guidance and strength. <br />
<br />
NFTOS will be taking a respite to discuss our future. What transpires, I have no clue. If this is indeed the end, I'll be back for one more blog to thank both; our loyal readers and those 75 million visitors whom have visited this site. <br />
<br />
For now, stay safe and be at peace! <br />
<br />

<b><i>“It’s not funny,” Maher said of Trump’s presidential candidacy. “This is a different thing. I did a whole mea culpa on my show Friday night, I talked about Mitt Romney, George Bush, Reagan, McCain like it was the end of the world. It would never have been the end of the world with those guys. This is different. This guy is different.”</i></b></blockquote>
Fallon then asked Maher if he had anything to say to voters who were still undecided between Clinton and Trump. Maher took a deep breath and, with an exasperated look on his face, went down the litany of Trump’s sins.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“First of all, really? I mean, he’s a racist, a liar, a tax cheat, a deadbeat, a Russian agent, and a sexual predator,” Maher said. “‘How do you find your way out of the door in the morning?’ is what I would say to the undecideds.”</i></b></blockquote>
Maher then got serious again and said he’d tell undecided that Trump really is a “different beast” from other presidential nominees we’ve seen.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />NFTOS<br />Blogger-In-Chief<div>

<b><i>“It’s scary,” Conway opined. “All the coverage is usually about our protesters wreaking havoc and making people feel afraid. And it certainly goes both ways. I’m with Mr. Trump and the Secret Service routinely. They do an amazing job.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“I also want to point out because some people are spreading misinformation about the protester,” she continued. “He had canvassed for Hillary Clinton and he had donated to her campaign. So, this is a Democratic plant or operative trying to disrupt our rally. And I think people saw a nimble resilient Donald Trump who would be nimble and resilient as president as well.”</i></b></blockquote>
<br /><b>VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UKQGWrA_UsY" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “Except it wasn't an assassination attempt,” Tapper pointed out. “It was apparently a local voter, a Republican who says he is supporting Hillary Clinton. He has given money to Hillary Clinton. He has canvassed for Hillary Clinton. But he says he’s a Republican. But most importantly, he was not trying to assassinate anyone.”</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“This was not an assassination attempt, but why is your campaign spreading that it was?” Tapper wondered.</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“That’s really remarkable,” Conway replied. “That that’s what the story line is here.”</i></b></blockquote>
Pivoting to the Democratic nominee, the Trump campaign manager asserted that Hillary Clinton was traveling with Beyonce because she was having trouble getting people to come to her events.<br /><br /> Conway concluded by defiantly offering to retract the assassination claim if CNN retracts “all the storylines, all the headlines, all the breathless predictions of the last two weeks that turned out not to be true.”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“You guys retract that and I'll give a call to Dan Scavino about the retweet,” Conway quipped.</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“I never reported anything along those lines,” Tapper stated.</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“CNN certainly has,” Conway shot back as Tapper shrugged. “You’ve got to be honest here.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“We’ve been saying all along that Donald Trump has a path to the presidency,” Tapper insisted.</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Wow!” Conway exclaimed.</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“You can say ‘wow’ all you want, I’ve never said that the race was over,” Tapper laughed. “We can replay as many tapes as you want.”</i></b></blockquote>

Lemon started the segment with a chuckle, “She spoke out about online bullying — I wonder if it came as a surprise to her husband.”<br /><br />Republican strategist Ana Navarro joined the conversation as well with an important message for Melania. Before offering her opinion on the matter, Lemon read off some of Trump’s mean tweets about himself and Navarro.<br /><br /><b>VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T-pqmLSey0o" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“He has called me a lightweight, dumb as a rock. He’s called you a flunky, one of the dumbest people in politics, and said you have no talent.”</i></b></blockquote>
Navarro explains that yes, it’s an important topic to discuss and an important issue to address.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “It’s often time done under anonymity,” she says. “Donald Trump does it on his own.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>She offers Melania some solid advice and says, “If Melania Trump wants to something against online bullying, really, all she’s gotta do is put a little melatonin in his night time milk, and maybe lullaby him to sleep.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Take his phone away, tie his hands up,” she continues as Lemon laughs with her.</i></b></blockquote>
She says she understands why Melania finds the issue important but that, “It’s a very difficult argument to make when you’re sleeping next to Donald Trump, who’s tweeting at 3 in the morning and tweeting really ridiculous things.”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “Her spouse is crazy!” Navarro continues, “And tweets crazy stuff in the middle of the night!”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>“There has never been dishonesty like we’ve seen in this election,” he bellowed. “Don’t worry, they won’t spin the cameras and show the kind of massive crowds. They won’t do it.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Never before have so many media organizations, old and new, abandoned all pretense of fairness to take sides to try to pick a president,” Trump charged. “It’s unbelievable. For instance, we’ll have a great story. We’ll give it out to the media and they’ll make it look as bad as possible.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“CNN sucks! CNN sucks!” the crowd chanted in response.</i></b></blockquote>
<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Khrtwxm-Mo" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Several minutes later, Trump again complained that the cameras “are not turning around to see this incredible group of people.”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“We have massive crowds, there’s something happening,” he opined. “They’re not reporting it.”<br />“Katy, you’re not reporting it, Katy,” Trump said, pointing to MSNBC’s Katy Tur. “But there’s something happening, Katy. There’s something happening, Katy!”</i></b></blockquote>
Tur revealed in an April <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21997/donald-trump-katy-tur/"><span style="color: red;">essay for Marie Claire</span></a> that the Secret Service had taken steps to protect her after Trump called her out at an event in December.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “It’s unlikely, however, that any of Trump’s future attacks will be as scary as what happened in Mount Pleasant, where the crowd, feeding off Trump, seemed to turn on me like a large animal, angry and unchained,” she wrote. “It wasn’t until hours later, when Secret Service took the extraordinary step of walking me to my car, that the incident sank in.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“The wave of insults, harassment, and threats, via various social-media feeds, hasn’t stopped since. Many of the attacks are unprintable,” Tur added. “But I’m still ready with a wave. And whether or not Trump wins the White House, I’ll still run for those live shots. What else am I supposed to do?”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>‘This is from an account that has not been used since October 2015, before Sunday,” Rye explained. “On Sunday they released the I.G report about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. On Sunday they released surveillance requests about the Baltimore protests having to do with Freddie Gray. The only thing on the Trump side was an investigation about Donald Trump and his father donating to city council members at the time.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“It hasn’t been used since October and it just so happens that the Friday after Director Comey sends this letter out to the Republican chairmen on the House and Senate side,” she continued. “All of a sudden this account needs to be used?”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “Questioning the integrity of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not going to win you a single voter –” McEnany began before Democratic consultant Keith Boykin jumped in.</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“The election is rigged is an OK thing for you to do?” he exclaimed. “You guys are the kings and queens of the conspiracy theories!”</i></b></blockquote>

Jason Chaffetz for their handling of the latest Hillary Clinton email revelations.<br /><br />A furious Olbermann said Comey and Chaffetz — who had rescinded his endorsement of Donald Trump over a hot mic recording that revealed him boasting of sexual assaulting women — appear to have colluded on the release of the statement Friday afternoon for partisan political gain.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Why did (Chaffetz) late Wednesday night suddenly pivot back to supporting Trump?” Olberman said. “Why did he reverse 36 hours before Comey’s historically slovenly, craven note that left Pandora’s box unjustly unlocked so that a sniveling little coward like Chaffetz could peek inside (and) then deliberately exaggerate what he saw and fuel Donald Trump’s latest delusion rage.”</i></b></blockquote>
Olbermann said Chaffetz put words in Comey’s mouth by saying the investigation, which had never been officially closed, had been reopened, although other FBI agents have said Clinton did not send or receive the newly recovered emails.<br /><br /><b>VIDEO COURTESY OF GQ</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f_bc12MVvSg" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Then Donald Trump said that — and lied,” Olbermann said, and then much of the media reported those inaccurate claims throughout the weekend. “By the time they started backtracking, the toothpaste was already out of the tube.”</i></b></blockquote>
Olbermann said the timing suggests that Chaffetz is either a prophet or he knew Comey’s note was coming.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“If Chaffetz knew Comey’s note was coming, then he and Comey or other sources in the FBI have colluded to try to manipulate the election, in which case Mr. Chaffetz and Mr. Comey may need the best criminal defense attorneys that money may procure,” Olbermann said.</i></b></blockquote>
He wondered whether Chaffetz tipped off Trump about Comey’s note, and Olbermann wondered who could “clear this up a week and a day before the most important election since before the Civil War?”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“(Chaffetz) and James Comey may have been the lynchpins in a plot to turn over this country by treachery to Donald Trump,” Olbermann said. “It is a plot that is indeed, as Trump boasted, worse than Watergate.”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>“They believe that they did the right thing by telling Congress about this development,” Williams said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “And their logic goes something like this, that the fact that the discovery of these emails was going to leak, that if it leaked it would come out in all sorts of different ways and be interpreted in all sorts of different ways and that the best way to handle it was just to get out in front of it.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“And secondly,” he continued, “they thought that if they waited until after election and then it was discovered that they had found these emails, that would play into this whole scenario about how the system is rigged.”</i></b></blockquote>
Williams also pointed out that Comey and the FBI still did not know what was in the emails.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“They don’t know whether they are significant to the question of the email investigation,” he explained</i></b></blockquote>

He is operating independently of the Justice Department. And he knows it,” the source said.<br /><br />The New Yorker even reports that the issue went as high as Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who, according to an anonymous administration official, told Comey that her preference would be not to send the letter for the same reasons.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“You don’t do this,” a former senior Justice Department official told the magazine. “It’s aberrational. It violates decades of practice.” </i></b></blockquote>
<br />That practice was codified even further in 2012, when then-Attorney General Eric Holder <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/329338164/Ag-Memo-Election-Year-Sensitivities"><span style="color: red;">sent a memo</span></a> to all DOJ employees about “election year sensitivities.” It reads, “As Department employees…we must be particularly sensitive to safeguarding the Department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.” It instructs anyone with questions “regarding the timing of charges or overt investigative steps near the time of a primary or general election” to contact the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division.<br /><br />A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment to the New Yorker as to whether Comey contacted that division.<br /><br />According to the New Yorker’s source, Comey told Lynch that he had to break with the agency’s protocols because he had told Congress he would inform lawmakers of any developments in his investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information by using a private server. He also “felt that the impending election created a compelling need to inform the public,” New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer writes.<br /><br />In his own explanations of his actions to FBI employees in a letter he sent to them on Friday <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/10/28/read-the-letter-comey-sent-to-fbi-employees-explaining-his-controversial-decision-on-the-clinton-email-investigation/"><span style="color: red;">obtained by the Washington Post</span></a>, he wrote, “Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record.”<br /><br />The Clinton campaign has already accused Comey’s letter of being “long on innuendo and short on facts,” as campaign Chairman John Podesta put it in a call with the press, and called on him to give more information to the public. “His first duty is to the American people,” Podesta said. “We hope that he will take the occasion to explain why he decided to take this extraordinary step.”<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <div>

<b><i>“I think the word you were looking for was ‘hypocritical,'” Navarro began. “Remember Newt Gingrich’s wife? When he was running in 2012, told all of us, told the media the media, said it to the camera. Newt Gingrich offered her the choice between an open marriage or a divorce. So maybe, just maybe, if all of that baggage is on your shoulders, maybe you shouldn’t be the surrogate out there wagging your finger and accusing the woman who was reporting on sexual assault — let me explain it slowly — sexual assault and sex are two things. One is unwanted. One is wanted. So maybe they need to understand that to begin with.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “Let us not confuse sexual assault and sex,” she continued. “And if you are going to get a surrogate to speak on it, and wag his finger on national TV, maybe, just maybe, go find the Pope or somebody that’s been on his knees in a chapel for the last 20 years. Not Newt Gingrich.”</i></b></blockquote>

Specifically, she called out the party for not standing against his misogyny.<br /><br />She started off with a bold claim that, “Somehow this decision was made along the way during the primaries that it was OK to appeal to this very angry, vulgar, alt-right section of the party at the expense of women. There are signs being printed and shirts being made. I can’t even repeat what is on those shirts.”<br /><br /><b>VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="425" mozallowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" src="https://vid.me/e/AZaP?stats=1" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“At some point, someone in the Republican party should have stood up and said, ‘This is not okay. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior. This is not what the Republican party is about,'” Carpenter says. “No one did that in any concentrated way.”</i></b></blockquote>
At the end of the day, her point rings true. It’s on them. Carpenter explained that her fire is not aimed at Donald Trump, but at men within the party generally.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>She says, “I want men in the Republican party to be accountable for not standing up and defending women,” adding, “Where are these conservative men that talk about family values, but then go on tv and defend locker room talk? That’s not OK.”</i></b></blockquote>
When it came down to solutions, though, Carpenter’s head was in the right place. “They need female supervision from now on,” she says.<br /><br />Trump nutter Kayleigh McEnany, per her norm, came to the Republican nominee’s defense, suggesting that the party needs to think about the Supreme Court justices that his Democratic counterpart would appoint.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>Carpenter had an answer, though. She shot back unapologetically and said, “Once you have someone who has tyrannical impulses in the White House, forget the Supreme Court, it’s over. This guy has no boundaries.”</i></b></blockquote>

In 2012, the Romney campaign <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/110597/exclusive-the-polls-made-mitt-romney-think-hed-win"><span style="color: red;">believed the same</span></a> about its large and enthusiastic rallies, but the big crowds there did not foreshadow an electoral rout.<br /><br />First, CNN anchor Poppy Harlow played video of Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Meet the Press Sunday finally admitting that the campaign is “running behind” in the polls. Then Harlow played the Republican nominee himself saying that the polls that say his campaign is losing are all wrong.<br /><br /><b>VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qO38Fc9-l1I" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “The numbers are looking phenomenal, don’t believe the media,” Trump said.</i></b></blockquote>
So, who’s right? Harlow asked. “Are you concerned that your candidate seems to be on a very different page than your campaign manager when it comes to where they stand two weeks out?”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Well, I don’t think they’re on a completely different page,” Hughes replied. “They’ve been probably on the same page closer than you see Robby Mook and Hillary Clinton on, after some of the disastrous comments he made this morning.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “But when it comes to Florida, there really is a lot of optimism,” she said. “The reason why the Trump team is extremely happy. Right now, they’re up in absentee ballots. You have the four events that will have the 50,000 in attendance who Mr. Trump will be eye-to-eye with in the next three days. Early voting just is now starting in Florida in 50 counties tomorrow. They’ve not even started really to vote in the lines like we’ve seen in North Carolina and other areas, in Georgia, we’re seeing actually the rural areas are the high voter turnout. And you’re not seeing the same enthusiasm in the more urban areas which often skew more Democratic.”</i></b></blockquote>
<br />When asked whether the Trump team is concerned that their ground game is millions of dollars and months behind Clinton’s, Hughes airily dismissed the concerns and pivoted to attack Clinton.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“We always knew going into it that the ‘Clinton Machine’ was going to be huge to defeat, especially when paired up with the amazing machine that the Democrats have built,” Hugues said.</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Overwhelmingly, right now,” she continued, “females are turning out to vote.” All over the country, she said, women are turning out to early voting in record numbers, which “might” help Hillary Clinton, she said, but not with women who are unswayed by the “recent scandals” around Trump.</i></b></blockquote>
Author Hilary Rosen countered with the fact that Clinton is getting the overwhelming majority of women voters.<br /><br />Hughes replied that the huge numbers of people turning out to Trump rallies puts her mind at rest about the polls. If people are willing to wait in line, sometimes for hours, to see Donald Trump, then they’ll do whatever it takes to get to the polls.<br /><br />In October, 2012, Republican nominee Gov. Mitt Romney was actually <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2012/10/mitt-drawing-larger-crowds-082348"><span style="color: red;">drawing larger crowds</span></a> to his rallies than Pres. Barack Obama. However, Romney lost in the polls. Empirically, crowd size is a lousy predictor of electoral success.<br /><br /><div>

<b><i>“It was the first time in American history, through dozens of venomous painful campaigns and a series of impossibly close elections, the first and only time that a candidate of a major party had violated the fundamental precept of our democracy,” Olbermann explained. “It shakes every one of our freedoms, it mocks every dead American soldier, it spits in every sacrifice made under our flag.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “This time it slipped passed no one. Not the moderator, not Fox News, not even Breitbart.com,” he continued. “It was not a flash of anger from a man who gets angry once an hour. It was not another slab of red meat thrown to his crazed supporters. It was not another outrageous statement to throw up against the wall in this cheap reality show version of a presidential campaign. He meant it! He means it!”</i></b></blockquote>

Donald Trump is not invested in our Constitution! Donald Trump is not invested in America! Donald Trump is not invested in preventing people from being killed on the streets after an election like this were a Third World police state!”<br /><br />“Burn. In. Hell!” the broadcaster yelled.<br /><br /> Olbermann concluded by calling on the Republican Party to force its nominee to withdraw.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Compel him to withdraw! Now!” Olbermann demanded. “Litigate against him, find enough doctors and have him declared psychiatrically incompetent. At minimum, cut off his funding completely and denounce him in the strongest possible terms because this nightmare, this fascist, this Trump is now your responsibility.”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>“We’re talking about the Clintons and we’re talking about Hillary Clinton who is the most corrupt politician to ever run for office,” Ellmers opined. “Ninety-six percent of political contributions have been given to Hillary Clinton from you in the media.”</i></b></blockquote>
<b>VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN</b><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kdZc5tyXlEQ" width="425"></iframe><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“Everything you just said has nothing to do with election fraud,” Cuomo pointed out. “There has been a lot of exhaustive research on this. And the idea of widespread fraud in any election, let alone this one, has almost no basis in fact.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i> “You are focusing on one area, the democratic system,” Ellmers complained. “That’s not fair! That’s really not what Donald Trump is talking about. He has talked about the rigged media against him… We’re even finding out that the FBI and the State Department was asking for quid pro quo! He is looking at this from a 30,000-foot level. And he is saying when you add it all up, it does amount to fraud.”</i></b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<br /><b><i>“But that’s not election fraud,” Cuomo interrupted. “Don’t undermine the process.”<br />“What you are doing is you are taking one piece,” the North Carolina Republican replied. “These aren’t individual silos, these aren’t all in a vacuum, they are all cumulative. And they all add up.”</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b><i>“If you are going to say there’s fraud, you have to prove it,” Cuomo insisted. “This is very dangerous, otherwise, to undermine the election.”</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b><i> “No! It’s not very dangerous,” Ellmers remarked. “What’s very dangerous is electing someone like Hillary Clinton behind the backs of the American people. You want proof? I’ll give you proof. I’ll give you proof that this woman is corrupt.”</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b><i>“All I’m talking about is the election fraud,” Cuomo shrugged.</i></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b><i>“So, if she’s elected will you have me back afterwards, after there’s proof?” Ellmers pleaded. “It’s the American people that are saying this, the American people think this is a rigged system. So when you criticize, you are criticizing the American people.”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>“Pew research in 2012 came back and said one in eight voter registrations are inaccurate,” she said. “There is significantly that they’re no longer valuable. That’s 146 million voters in the United States today, 1.8 million has some sort of fraud or has something wrong with their voter registration.”</i></b></blockquote>

<b><i>“The solution?” Hughes added. “Voter ID laws! That’s why the Republicans are pushing so hard for it.”</i></b></blockquote>
While the Pew Center on the States did <a href="http://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/uploadedfiles/pcs_assets/2012/pewupgradingvoterregistrationpdf.pdf"><span style="color: red;">publish a paper</span></a> on the voter registration system in 2012, Hughes grossly misstated its findings.<br /><br /> The research found that 24 million registrations were “significantly inaccurate,” and that 1.8 million deceased voters were listed on the rolls. Pew did not, however, find that incorrect registration information amounted to “voter fraud.”<br /><br />Hughes also noted that the purpose of ginning up fears of a rigged election “was all about who’s going to turn their people out to the polls.”<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>“The Clinton camp has one way of doing it, on strategy,” she opined. “The Trump camp is saying, you have to turn out, there’s no way you can just stay home this year if you want to see a Republican take over the White House.”</i></b></blockquote>
In 2014, Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/08/06/a-comprehensive-investigation-of-voter-impersonation-finds-31-credible-incidents-out-of-one-billion-ballots-cast/"><span style="color: red;">examined voting data</span></a> and found just 31 legitimate cases of fraud in over 1 billion votes cast.<br /><br /><br />[h/t rawstory]<div>
