It had nothing to do with the number of registered voters. The counts had to do with the manual counts by people in the polling places counting voters who voted and the counts of voting machines not matching up.

As reported here:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...er-fraud-2016/

Here:

This is the breakdown provided by politifact of the Wayne County discrepancies.

77 precincts +1 vote
62 precincts +2 votes
37 precincts +3 votes
20 precincts +4 votes
52 precincts +5 or more votes
81 precincts -1 vote
29 precincts -2 votes
19 precincts -3 votes
7 precincts -4 votes
8 precincts -5 or more votes

And yes that means exactly what it says- 332 precincts had discrepancies of 4 votes or less. Not thousands.

How many Republican AGs in 2008 and 2009 spent millions to find the thousands of people that voted illegally for Obama and came up with nothing? I have no idea. Colorado's AG spent 3 million taxpayer dollars to uncover all the illegal voters in Colorado. He found 3. That's right, 3 people who were 'illegally' registered to vote in Colorado. And one of those was only illegal because he'd registered in the wrong district. Of course since his property was on the dividing line between districts he'd simply screwed up and the error hadn't been picked up by local officials. BTW, records showed none of those three people had voted in any election.

Sure, but the conclusion will be "I was robbed" not any actual investigation into the electoral process.

They told on election night or the night after,I can't remember there were three precincts in Illinois around Chicago that turned in more votes than were registered and it was seven to eight hundred too many.You say seven to eight hundred isn't that many and that might be so if you believe 100% of the registered voters turned out to vote.I don't.Someone was stuffing the ballot boxes.I've heard nothing of it since.If the people stuffing the boxes investigate themselves what do you think they'll find.I think they will find more than three.

Any 'investigation' would be just like Trump's taxes. "Oh, we're working on but there's some blather and it'll be some time. Got to do things right. Blather, blather, repeat and double talk."

All the talk about illegal votes is an extension of the Republicans trying to delegitimize Obama and saying he was only in office because of so many illegal votes. Now that their candidate lost the popular vote (which the only thing that could've been worse is if no one had gotten enough electoral votes and he'd been appointed by the house) they desperately want to claim a mandate, but they can't. Unless they convince people he really did win the popular vote, it's just that the other people cheated. Something no honest investigation will ever turn up, because it didn't happen.

Their 'mandate' drum is also broken because they lost ground in the house and senate. That's just a kicker.

A part of me wants to believe it's Donald's massive ego, but it isn't just that. It's darker. They plan on doing a bunch of crap that lots of people are going to get upset about (including cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) and they want to be able to say 'the majority voted for this' but they can't, because they didn't.

What I truly hope is that it isn't dramatically darker and that it's part of a plan to keep hold of power even if/when Trump loses in 2020.

I don't know who "they" are, but according to the board of elections there aren't any precincts in Chicago with 100% or more turn out.

The Colorado investigation was conducted by members of a committee appointed by the AG. They were all ranking officers in the Colorado Republican Party. So, it wasn't the people stuffing the ballot boxes (probably because there weren't any) doing the investigation.

Nothing shady here.

Congressmen wouldn't pay for 9/11 first responders health care because it was too expensive- until they were publicly shamed for it.

Happy to cough up 20 billion for a wall. They just have to figure out how to make it not look like US taxpayers paid for it while US taxpayers are actually paying for it.

Oh, and didn't Trump insist time and again that it would only cost 8 billion?

If it gets into the advanced stages, it can destroy the cerebral cortex of the brain.

The cerebral cortex contains gray matter which is responsible for the "higher" functions of thinking and information processing.

So, this is the part of the brain which determines the difference between right and wrong (a person's morals). This can lead to severe psychiatric issues.

A US judge has issued a temporary halt to the deportation of visa holders or refugees stranded at airports following President Trump's executive order.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a case in response to the order issued on Friday.

The ACLU estimates that between 100 and 200 people are being detained at airports or in transit.

Thousands of people have been protesting at US airports over Mr Trump's clampdown on immigration.

His executive order halted the entire US refugee programme and also instituted a 90-day travel ban for nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

PS: "Lord" Nigel Farage has weighed in with his two cents, by calling on the UK government to impose extreme immigration vetting in this country.
