    Uh...your image isn't right. Illinois has a Republican Governor. Unless it's a reflection of who does the redistricting? Some states use independent groups, some it's the governor, some it's the state senate (or whatever they call it).

    Ah! I just found out the source of your image -- it's who controls the state legislatures. That's not reflective of who controls redistricting.

    For some states it doesn't matter -- like Montana. They have 1 district.

    And since I'm cool like that I'll even give my take on the opponent question: anti-Trumpers never thought in a million years that it would be the electoral blowout that the election turned out to be. From that position where victory is assured, why not push the position that the elections are free and fair? I'm glad it blew up in everybody's pompous faces, honestly. Any candidate who banks on a captive voterbase as hard as Clinton did deserves the spite vote against them.
    Trumps margin was in the BOTTOM quarter of electoral victories.

    So please continue to be duped by a lying conman, maybe one day you’ll actually understand reality.

It's harder to argue that Trump did anything to illegally affect the election when you spent months criticizing Reps for doubting the integrity of the American electorate.
    1. I didn't vote for Trump but, to answer your question, it wasn't the voters who said it was rigged, it was Trump himself. One would hope that there are ZERO voters not named Sean Hannity who accept everything Trump says as truth.

    But your premise is deeply flawed, in my view. You are conflating two groups of alleged wrong doing, that would be doing said wrong doing in different directions. I don't think it happened, but it's certainly logically possible, that both sides cheated a bit, and both sides want to push their narrative rather than the other sides narrative. Some of that is just standard political bias.

    2. Anytime you are thinking Trump is playing 8-D, under water, blind folded chess, your notion has gone off the rails. If you are unsure if Trump did something that is either next level genius, or ridiculously lucky, it's the latter. Every time. Always.

    Are you talking about the evidence that NSA is going to release about how Hilary fixed machines to default vote for her and that she actually did lose the Popular vote? Or some made up WaPo, NYT, CNN bullshit?

    So...unless you want to try one last time I'm just going to smile and nod and move on to posts I can actually see the connection to.
    Dex posting in a nutshell. Put him on ignore and it'll make this forum so much nicer, trust me.

    OT: Only in USA can the same morons that cry Deep State™ also claim voter fraud in the same breath. Allow them their smugness now. Totes won't come to bite them in the ass like the ones they criticized. They're different! Muh Silent Majority™

    I don't focus on it. But any time simpeltons like yourself try to claim a "popular mandate" for Trump or some other equally stupid statement I point out how false it is. And there's really now way to pretend that the EC does anything but distort the power of Red states so that one vote in a red state is more valuable than a vote in a blue.


    My god it didn't even take a second for you to start pissing and whining about hillary/liberal strawman.

    He was very open about it, he outright said he'd accept the result if he won.

    Trump ended his voting investigation weeks ago and destroyed all data collected. This isn’t a mater of agreeing...
