Ethnic Votes Stolen in Crucial States Help Fix US Election For Trump Reveals Greg Palast


Greg Palast’s web page has the article Ethnic Votes Stolen in Crucial States Help Fix US Election For Trump Reveals Greg Palast.

As a response to constant paranoia about voter fraud, 30 mainly Republican states have adopted a system called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program (Crosscheck), according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

This system was devised in 2005 by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, better known as the anti-immigration fanatic responsible for Trump’s idea of building a wall on the US / Mexico border and getting Mexico to pay for it. Kobach, like Trump, has given lip service to conspiracy theories, especially ones that bolster fears of the growing influence of racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. And now, interestingly he has been rewarded by Trump with a job on his Transition Team as adviser on immigration.

Palast also mentions other ways that votes were stolen. One of the ways he mentions, that I am much less certain about than he pretends to be is the discrepancy between exit polls and actual votes cast. In the world of political correctness, it might have been embarrassing to tell exit pollsters that you voted for Donald Trump. You have no reason to assume that the exit poll is more truthful than the vote count. Some statistics on ballot spoilage may be more of an indication of vote theft and it might also explain the exit poll discrepancies. I certainly don’t have the evidence nor the expertise to give a definitive opinion on this. All I have is skepticism about all stories.

It may be karma though that Hillary managed to rig the primaries to steal that election from Bernie, but Trump and the Republicans had better and more massive vote suppression and rigging techniques than Hillary used against Sanders. One thing is probably likely is that one vote thief isn’t going to ask for an investigation of another vote thief.
