Bernie calls people who believe there is widespread voter fraud "political cowards"

[Godhumor]

From the man himself:

Anybody claiming there is widespread voter fraud, trying to suppress the vote, trying to keep people from voting, is a political coward.

1. Bumping for the new title n/t

2. ugh, he's conflating issues.

"voter fraud" =/= "trying to suppress the vote".

"Voter fraud": correct, this rarely happens.

But "Trying to suppress the vote" happens all the damn time, in fact the courts just ruled that the NC voter ID law did just that.

If he's solely talking about the conspiracy theories regarding election fraud in the Dem primaries, he should clarify.

5. I think he was talking about Trump's ridiculous claims

The way he worded it is confusing, but I think he was trying to say that the claims about voter fraud are themselves an attempt to suppress the vote.

3. Misreading

Replace the commas by an "or", and it makes sense:

Anybody
claiming there is widespread voter fraud *or*
trying to suppress the vote *or*
trying to keep people from voting,
is a political coward.

6. voter fraud is not the same subject as election fraud. He's talking about Republicans claiming voter

fraud as a reason for voter IDs. Completely different subject...

7. Do Caucuses Fall Under The Definition

of election fraud?

In my blue state only 127,000 registered dems participated in caucus - there are over 1 million registered Democrats.

[fun n serious]

8. Caucasus.

Where easy voter fraud occurred. I guess I am a coward for saying that. The more people that vote the bigger WE win is absolutely true.

9. He's referring to Republicans...

They believe people are willing to stand hours in line to cast 1 insignificant vote under someone else's name. Because they are morons.
