Dumb lie on right wing websites

Sometimes I look at right wing websites, forums, etc to see what crap they're pushing.

Today several sites claim there's a huge exodus by registered voters from the Democratic Party to register in the GOP
so they can vote for Trump in the Presidential election this November.

Clue: You don't have to be a Republican to vote for Trump, or a Democrat to vote for Clinton.

Seems one idiot posts a rumor, and others pick it up and spread it.

I saw a bunch of nonsense about early voting showing Trump crushing Clinton. The idiots don't even know how our voting process works.

You would think all the self-declared patriots would have basic knowledge of the government.
