Trump was RIGHT! Presidential electoral fraudsters who voted TWICE set to face prosecution

According to State elections director Chris Thomas, at least 31 people in Michigan voted twice during last year’s US presidential election.

Thomas said the names of those accused have been passed onto the Attorney General’s office and will face charges.

He added: “It’s not acceptable. There are processes in place to stop this. In these 31 cases, they didn’t work.”

The reports of fraud come a day after House Speaker Paul Ryan’s said he had “seen no evidence” that three to five million people voted illegally, as Mr Trump has claimed.

Trump confirmed his plans to fully examine his claims of electoral fraud last week.

He said: “I’m going to set up a commission headed by Vice-President Mike Pence and we’re going to look at it very, very carefully.”

Republicans in Washington ignored Trump’s remarks and said they will scrap to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) which works with state and local officials to “ensure accessible, accurate and secure elections”.

Gregg Harper, the House Administration Committee Chairman, dismissed the organisation as “fluff” and as “perfect example of something that can be eliminated”.

Mr Thomas confirmed residents living in America’s mid-west voted twice; first with an absentee ballot and then in person.

Officials believe staff overseeing the Detroit ballots could not detect the double votes because they weren't given an updated list of voters who had used an absentee ballot.

But the state Bureau of Elections said human error, not fraud or equipment failure, caused mismatches between the number of ballots.

Within Detroit alone, 14 of the 31 cases of fraud were found. But Mr Thomas claimed there was no “pervasive fraud” in their audit of the region.

Instead he felt that poll workers lacked sufficient training which in turn caused “widespread performance issues”.

Trump was the one convincing people to mail in ballots and then also go in and vote. He's right because he literally told people to do it.

[Garnier Fructis]

In which CMartel gives us a brilliant math lesson with the punchline being 31 = 3-5 million.

I wonder when they're going to give you the Fields Medal.

[Wyrt]

So, they found 31 people out of 4.5 million votes?

That's true. He did tell people to do this.

Plot twist: Voter fraud was in favor of Trump.

Please post your source on this accusation.

Does people understand that ''voter fraud is a myth'' means that there is no hundred of thousands of fraudulous votes ?

[The Stormbringer]

Please post your source on this accusation.

Here you go. If you are turned off by the source, just watch the video in it. It's just Trump talking.

I'm sure those 31 votes really impacted the results of the election.

We need more stringent voter ID laws that require people to own land and pay for a gold membership to Neopets.

This. Except we're forgetting one thing; this news story is completely accurate no matter what, no matter WHAT. Any other story is fake news.

It's pretty convenient how the news is only fake when it's not in his favor.

As for the story in the OP; whether it's true or not, and maybe it is, it's along way off from the MILLIONS of claimed fake votes. I love how Trump claims... what is it, THREE MILLION fake votes were cast? Fake, illegal, whatever he claimed. Well, here's 31 / 3,000,000, so "Trump was RIGHT!" -- I mean, come on man. I don't... I mean I sincerely don't understand how these people's brains work. How can a human mind take in and genuinely believe not only nonsense, but such a tremendous quantity of it?

[WskyDK]

So that accounts for .00001033% of Trump's claim.
Not to mention it's in a state he won.

For the usual suspects, ''illegal' vote is a code word for ''minority'' vote. They can't get over their ''gud uld'' Deep South laws that prevented Blacks from voting altogether, so they have to invent new stuff.

The best part about this story is voter ID laws wouldn't prevent this at all.

If you actually watched that video he said you can go get another ballot which they will then void your old one....

[Auxora]

31 != 2-3 million, and moreover he said they were Clinton votes and it doesn't say whether these people voted twice for Trump or Clinton. It would be hilarious if he pushes this and they find so many Trump voters voted twice that he actually lost the election.

Regardless, the title is wrong. This doesn't prove he was right at all. In fact everyone all along has said that there might be a tiny number of abusers, as in less than .00001%. There were about 5.7M votes in the Michigan election for President, 31 is literally less than .00001%. A long long long way from the numbers Trump proposed as accurate. The point being that such a minuscule % isn't worth the hassle and expense of more voting regulations.

And that's exactly what the people in the OP did. Voted by mail and then went to the polls to get a new ballot and vote again. Except, you know, the voiding part isn't true.

[kail]

Welp that seals it! Time to implement a nationwide system that only makes voting more of a pain due to the 35 (let's say per state) frauds.

[Ghostpanther]

Trump was the one convincing people to mail in ballots and then also go in and vote. He's right because he literally told people to do it.

Actually he suggested to his voters not to mail them in, but to vote personally. Because he had no trust in what may happen to a mailed in ballot. what you may be getting confused about is he encouraged people to get out and vote, not stay home.

He was telling people who had already mailed in ballots to also go and vote. You know, voting twice. Which is illegal. The whole 'they'll void your mail-in ballot' was either a lie or he was too dumb to know it wasn't true.

[Wyattbw09]

Nobody has ever argued that voter fraud does not exist. The argument is that voter fraud has never had a meaningful effect on any election. This argument still holds true.

Never saw him saying what you are implying. Maybe a video link for me to check? He is often misunderstood, sometimes on purpose to make him look bad. Not saying you are doing that.
