NP - Reductio ad absurdum on FB

[Mark Thibodeau]

Thing is? She fucking won.

Popular vote, electoral vote, she won them all.

The PROBLEM is that the paperless voting machines didn't reflect that fact.

That last one is particularly good if you dig into the materials about
2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2014 (all stolen) as well as 2008 and
2012 (attempted steals).

Exit polling raw data is the gold standard for determining if an
election is rigged. By that standard, every federal election, both
presidential and mid-term, has been rigged.
