Did the GOP Strip & Flip the 2016 Selection?
by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
November 18, 2016
Hillary Clinton's margin of victory in the 2016 vote count continues to climb, at this point well over a million.
But her impending defeat in the Electoral College comes with familiar signs that the election was stripped and flipped.
These indicators include the realities of pre- and post-election polling; the massive stripping of primarily black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters from computer generated registration rolls mostly maintained by private partisan companies; unverifiable "black box" electronic voting machines and central tabulators, also mostly manufactured and maintained by private corporations, and much more.
Were this election held in any other country, the US State Department and independent monitors from around the world would denounce it as a fraud, and contemplate international intervention. ........
....... So did the GOP strip and flip the 2016 election?
Let's count the ways:
There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton won America's popular vote by more than a million votes.
That popular vote victory will be reversed in an Electoral College originally designed to enhance the power of slaveowners, now being used for the sixth time to deny the White House to the rightful winner. .......

The exit polls have a huge red shift, an unprecedented amount of error, inexplicable.
