Republicans really need to start speaking out against this rigged election bullshit. What are they waiting for?
I think they might be waiting for Trump to shut up with that bullshit because it's not based in fact and they know it. His surrogates are all giving different interpretations of what he REALLY means, which doesn't align with what he REALLY said. Plus, the states where he stands a chance of winning all are governed by Republicans.
The states manage their own election processes and protocols and do a good job working bi-partisan to ensure integrity, according to the various research reports conducted over the years. Some voter fraud cases have been identified, but they've been small scale and didn't affect the election outcome. One of the reasons our voting system is so manual and old-school is to keep it decentralized and prevent organized corruption on a national level.
Anyway, the final debate on Wednesday night should be interesting. Chris Wallace of Fox News will moderate the debate; maybe he'll ask Trump to explain his "rigged/fraud" rhetoric. Who knows what the hell to expect at this point, but these are supposed to be the six 15-minute topics to be discussed.
1. debt and entitlements,
2. immigration,
3. the economy,
4. Supreme Court,
5. foreign hot spots,
6. the candidates' fitness to be president.
