Constitution

A bombshell new study seems to lend credence to President Trump’s assertion that but for noncitizens voting illegally, he would have won the popular vote as well as the Electoral College vote.
If you remember, after winning in November, President Trump was immediately attacked for having “lost” the popular vote. In response, the President pointed out that millions of non-citizens likely voted against him and swung the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. The media laughed off the suggestion and painted the President as someone who couldn’t accept the reality that he had lost the popular vote…
Except, it seems that the President has more evidence to support his opinion than the media does to support theirs.

I agree. I was especially impressed by how well sourced it was, from very respectable outlets.
It's not Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones. This is the real deal.

Yet another inconvenient truth and fact... that the idiot left will now proceed to totally ignore.

Article doesn't support the headline, and the study doesn't support the article. "Up to . . ." doesn't mean that's a real number. The range of possible fraud was broad, and most of that range doesn't support the claim.

Yeah, I've noticed that these stories making the claim that Trump was cheated actually say what could have happened rather than what did happen.

Non-citizen voting has to be stopped regardless of the numbers.

Also, the site it is on seems kinda questonable..

Thanks, I thought I was the Lone Ranger out there. Doesn't mean federal, state, and local governments shouldn't be doing more to ensure that only legal voters vote.
It's befuddling to me: MSM has gone all in on the Russians working for Trump's victory, while showing complete disregard for the issue of noncitizens voting.
Then again, they've been very quiet as regards Obama doing nothing when notified of the Russian hackings.

If the media focused on illegals voting, on illegals taking jobs away from Americans, on illegals getting welfare and other state benefits, if they focused on this sort of thing for days, weeks and years, you can bet the American people would be furious about it and demanding action to stop it.
My point here is to show how the media works it's power. It sways elections by what it focuses on, and also by what it refuses to cover.
As Iowahawk (David Burge) said: "Journalism is about covering important stories.... with a pillow.... till they stop moving."

Agreed, @Night Hides Not

Constitution.com sounds like it should have some solid research and articles but they have been caught before; but I think there are a few stories like this out there right now if one checks the news.
In the past, we had newspapers, nowadays, we have the web and some articles are very amateurish. It's not much different than if one of us wrote something and some of these websites encourage readers to provide articles.

What is the bombshell?
We do not elect in this country by winning a popular vote.
Might was well say the best groomed person is the winner.

It usually is. Saw it somewhere (One of Scott Adams' books I think, not sure) that the tallest candidate with the best hair usually winds up winning.

That seemingly is better than flogging the Dem talking point that the election was 'Stolen'.
