"The Election Is Not Rigged": Important Tweetstorm by prominent GOP election lawyer
By David Michigan Oct 15, 2016

Ashby Law, a prominent Virginia-based law firm specializing in political and election law, which boasts many Republicans and Republican-leaning PACs and firms on its client list, has just sent out a massive tweet storm to refute the notion that the coming election will be “rigged.”

To make the tweets more readable, I have compiled them into a single text, spelling out twitter abbreviations and breaking the texts into paragraphs. Here it is, without further comment:

Let’s dispense with this notion that the election is rigged, shall we? First, US elections are held in public places, in open rooms, in plain view of all assembled. No back rooms, no secret doors or hallways. Ordinary citizens, not government bureaucrats, serve as election officials and conduct the election. They check in voters, confirm IDs, keep records.

Laws require these election officials to be Republicans and Democrats, drawn from lists provided by local political parties.

Donald Trump is wrong. Rigging an election is almost impossible.
This is how hard it would be to pull off widespread voter fraud.
By Ari Berman August 5

In a span of two weeks, federal courts have struck down Republican-backed voting restrictions in six states, including laws that required strict forms of government-issued ID in order to cast a ballot, cut back on early-voting days and made it harder to register. The rulings found that the laws — in Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, North Dakota, Kansas and Wisconsin — violated the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against people of color, sometimes “with almost surgical precision.” .............

3. This coming from the only executive who has ever canceled an election

Unfair comparison perhaps, but the Democratic primary for mayor was canceled on 9/11/01. Arguably, had 9/11 not happened, Fernando Ferrer would have been mayor. (I know Mark Green probably thinks the same as well).

Tim Kaine Blasts Donald Trump's Rigged-Election Claim as 'Scare Tactics'

Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine slammed Donald Trump's recent claims that the election is rigged as "scare tactics."

"Donald Trump has kind of started to go wilder and wilder," Kaine told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.” “He started to make wild claims, kind of scorched-earth claims about the election being rigged ... He shouldn't be engaging in those scare tactics."

15. Any person who thinks voter suppression is not a Republican plan at voter fraud is a moran.

[Coyotl]

16. Turning leftists off to politics and the election seems to be a major strategy at this point.

They want to make the political environment so hostile and absurd that people walk away and don't want to look back. That is utter desperation. And, there is a racist overtone to it all, pointing to the most liberal-leaning communities in the country, people of color.

When Trump says election is rigged he is both delegitimizing Clinton's presidency & solidifying his cult leadership; cults need enemiesRT

[elias7]

18. Some states have tried to rig elections

Florida '00, Ohio '08, ongoing gerrymandering and election voter restrictions in Texas, NC, Ohio, etc. And you'd be a moron not to realize that a fair reading of the last 15 years in this activity has a huge finger pointed at the Republican Party being behind this.

Unfounded accusations are causing the Trumpian base to get stirred up, lacking as they are in intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills.

21. Why Trump ‘rigged’ vote claim could leave lasting impact

Why Trump ‘rigged’ vote claim could leave lasting impact
Julie Pace, AP October 16, 2016

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump keeps peddling the notion the vote may be rigged. It’s unclear whether he understands the potential damage of his words, or simply doesn’t care.

Trump’s claim, made without evidence, undercuts the essence of American democracy, the idea that U.S. elections are free and fair, with the vanquished peacefully stepping aside for the victor. His repeated assertions are sowing suspicion among his most ardent supporters, raising the possibility that millions of people may not accept the results on Nov. 8 if Trump loses.

The responsibilities for the New York billionaire in such a scenario are minimal. Trump holds no public office and has said he’ll simply go back to his “very good way of life” if Democrat Hillary Clinton wins.

Instead, Clinton and congressional Republicans, should they retain control, would be left trying to govern in a country divided not just by ideology, but also the legitimacy of the presidency.

As Trump’s campaign careens from crisis to crisis, he’s broadened his unfounded allegations that Clinton, her backers and the media are conspiring to steal the election. ..........

27. It's not "unclear" to me.. this is the twit that promoted birtherism

and knew it was wrong so he blamed it on Hillary.

He's a narcissistic asshole.. not sure why that isn't clear to everybody.. even his rabid jackal fans.

22. Trump's Rigged Game = absurdly dangerous.

Trump's Rigged Game
Two ways the candidate charges this election is “rigged” are absurd. The third is absurdly dangerous.
Yoni Appelbaum

What does Donald Trump mean when he charges that the election is “rigged”?

There are at least three ways that Trump has applied the label. The first two are flatly absurd. But the third contains just enough truth to raise the specter of unrest, violence, and a destabilized democracy. .............

If media coverage is rigged against Donald Trump, it was Donald Trump who rigged it.

Voter Fraud ....... second charge that Trump has often appended to the first, as he did again on Sunday afternoon.

........ a third claim that’s even worse. ........ we win the election or we lost the country and this is the last time. This is it. We're either gonna win or we're gonna have a whole different country and it's never going to come back. ......... Trump singles out urban areas for allegations of voter fraud, when he suggests that any result other than a Trump victory will reveal the election to have been rigged ............

[Third Doctor]

23. Well.. It's obvious he IS a moron so that undercuts his entire argument.
