To ensure a Nazi majority in the vote, Nazi organisations also "monitored" the vote process. In  Prussia , 50,000 members of the  SS ,  SA  and  Der Stahlhelm  were ordered to monitor the votes as so-called deputy sheriffs or auxiliary police ( Hilfspolizei ) in another decree by acting Interior Minister  Hermann Göring .

Donald Trump (voiceover): These people were brought to our country to vote and they vote illegally. And the you know, amazing that the Republicans aren’t tougher on it. The Republicans should say we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many… 15 places, the Republicans ought to nationalize the voting and that we have states that are so crooked and the county votes. We have states that I won. that Joe I didn’t win. Now you’re to see something in Georgia where they were able to get with the court order and the ballots. You’re see some interesting things come out.

Sargent:  So there, Trump falsely claims undocumented immigrants are voting illegally, then calls on the GOP Congress to somehow take over the voting in numerous jurisdictions.  And he says something’s going to be happening in Georgia. Gillian, just putting aside whether Trump can actually succeed in any of this—it’s pretty stark and lawless that he’s demanding it, don’t you think? Brockell:  Yeah, of course. I mean, it was a huge scandal in 2020 when there was a secret phone call where he was trying to mess with votes in Georgia, you know, that the  Washington Post  reported at the time, right? The “find however many votes.” You know, that was a massive scandal. Now he’s just doing it in public. You know, now he’s just, sort of, wish-casting about it, you know, talking to Dan Bongino.

Yesterday, for probably the hundredth time , Trump said he won Minnesota three times . (He lost all three times. )

How can anyone say with a straight face that this man is fit to be President Of The United States ?

He claimed he won MN 3 times?!?! When was the last time MN went for the republican candidate for POTUS? Wait...I'll go look that up

when was the last time minnesota voted for a republican president (my question to Google) Minnesota has since voted Democratic in every presidential election except 1952, 1956, and 1972, all of which were national Republican landslides.

This is not a problem.   Do not believe Trump claims.

In other words, improper noncitizen votes accounted for 0.0001 percent of the 2016 votes in those jurisdictions.   
Audits by state officials and studies from nonpartisan (and even conservative) organizations have found voter fraud by noncitizens is, as one organization described it, “exceedingly rare.”

in large enough numbers that could have actually changed ANY election outcome. They've been over the 2020 election Trump claims was stolen with a fine-toothed comb, they found nothing. Just handfuls of dipshits, a few dozen, many of which were on the right casting extra ballots for Trump. But not a single case of fraud that could have changed any election outcome was found. And yet the right still claims its happening because they're being lied to by right wing media daily, claiming the investigations must have had errors, or it's the deep state, or they'll have some anecdotal singular case of an undocumented immigrant that tried to vote and that proves to them that millions and millions of them are voting. They're fucking daft in the head. It's true insanity. The only way it makes sense for them to still be lying about this horse shit is that they know it's a lie but they're telling it anyway because hey, the ends justify the means. They have an agenda and they're willing to do anything to make it happen, lie, cheat, steal, nothing is too immoral for these slavering lapdogs of Trump.

You know that's absolute horse shit, right Sean? You're not under the delusion that after ALL the fucking witch hunts and lawsuits which showed ZERO undocumented immigrants voting or any sort of mass fraud, that somehow despite ALL the evidence, there is somehow widespread fraud on the left? I mean, believing something like that after all the evidence and finding NOTHING is just fucking stupid.

The fraud they did find was almost entirely on the Republicans side because those dumb mother fuckers stupidly believe that fraud was occurring on the left so they felt justified casting fraudulent votes. They even used illegal fake elector schemes, got caught, and yet they're still screaming "It's the other guys who are the frauds!".

I think the real issue here is that many white rightwing religious conservatives actually believe they're a majority of "American" voters, so they're confused every time they lose an election and assume "It had to be the illegals! Yeah! That's how I can justify our resounding defeat! We didn't lose! They cheated! Yeah, that makes us feel better about ourselves because accepting that a majority of Americans don't think the way we do is just too outrageous to even contemplate! Of course we're the most popular, we're the best at everything, our God is the best, our skin color is the best, why would anyone not want to vote for straight white conservative Christians to run everything? Any votes for our opposition must be fraudulent or from Satan!". It's this kind of unspoken but obvious mindset that wildly misinforms rightwing conservatives that are simply out of touch with reality.

Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections
The comments, made on a conservative podcast, follow a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over American elections.

President Trump has long been fixated on the false claim that voter fraud is rampant in the United States.
Caroline Yang for The New York Times

President Trump called in a new interview for the Republican Party to “nationalize” voting in the United States, an aggressive rhetorical step that was likely to raise new worries about his administration’s efforts to involve itself in election matters.

During an extended monologue about immigration on a podcast released on Monday by Dan Bongino, his former deputy F.B.I. director, Mr. Trump called for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in 15 states, though he did not name them.

“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’” he said. “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Under the Constitution, American elections are governed primarily by state law, leading to a decentralized process in which voting is administered by county and municipal officials in thousands of precincts across the country. Mr. Trump, however, has long been fixated on the false claims that U.S. elections are rife with fraud and that Democrats are perpetrating a vast conspiracy to have undocumented immigrants vote and lift the party’s turnout.

Mr. Trump’s remarkable call for a political party to seize the mechanisms of voting follows a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over American elections, as he and his allies continue to make false claims about his 2020 defeat.

Last week, F.B.I. agents  seized ballots and other voting records  from the 2020 election from an election center in Fulton County, Ga., where his allies have for years pursued false claims of election fraud. The New York Times reported on Monday that  Mr. Trump had spoken on the phone to the F.B.I. agents  involved in the Fulton County raid, praising and thanking them.

The Justice Department, which has been newly politicized under Mr. Trump, is  demanding that numerous states ,  including Minnesota , turn over their full voter rolls as the Trump administration tries  to build a national voter file .

In March, Mr. Trump  signed an executive order  that tried to make significant changes to the electoral process, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship and demanding that all mail ballots be received by the time polls close on Election Day. But that effort has largely been  rebuffed  by  courts .

On social media, Mr. Trump has pushed for even more drastic changes. In August, he wrote that he  wanted to end the use of mail-in ballots  and potentially the use of voting machines.

The president’s claims of election fraud  have been debunked over and over , by both independent reviews and Republican officials. A  review of the 2024 election by the Trump administration  that began last year had found little evidence of widespread voting fraud by noncitizens as of last month, The Times reported.

Mr. Trump’s escalated remarks about elections come at a moment when Democrats have outperformed the G.O.P. in a series of contests. New Jersey and Virginia elected Democratic governors in landslides in November, and  on Saturday, a Democrat won a special election  for a Texas State Senate seat by 14 percentage points in a district Mr. Trump had carried by 17 points in 2024, an enormous swing.

Sensing that Republicans were vulnerable to the traditional midterm backlash against the party in power, Mr. Trump last year kick-started an extraordinary effort to gerrymander congressional maps to give his party an edge. The push, which started in Texas but has since expanded to both Democratic- and Republican-controlled states,  became a central part of the president’s midterm strategy .

Mr. Trump has made little secret of his interest in expanding the federal government’s role in administering American elections. Last month, he told The Times that  he regretted not dispatching the National Guard  to seize voting machinery after the 2020 election.

During his interview with Mr. Bongino, Mr. Trump tied his desire for partisan control of voting mechanisms to his administration’s agenda to find and deport undocumented immigrants from American cities.

“If Republicans don’t get them out, you will never win another election as a Republican,” he said, referring to undocumented immigrants. “It’s crazy how you can get these people to vote. If we don’t get them out, look, Republicans will never win another election.”

There is no evidence that a significant number of noncitizens have voted in any American election.  A 2024 audit by Georgia’s secretary of state  found that just 20 of the 8.2 million people registered to vote in Georgia were not citizens, and only nine had ever voted.

There is one easy way for those convinced that voter fraud is rampant and to have their fears allayed and that is to become an election judge. When one witnesses first hand the myriad checks and balances in place all the whining would cease. It is the one arena where effective bipartisanship still exists.

These people were brought to our country to vote and they vote illegally.

They weren’t. And they don’t.

Republicans have been selling this farcical yarn for decades. Even the most casual look at our government should tell you that it’s bullshit. If millions and millions of people were brought to this country (I can only assume by the Illegal Immigrant Fairy), over all this time, to vote for Democratic candidates, then Democrats would be running the country.

But they aren’t, are they? Republicans control every branch of the federal government. Of the three states with the most illegal immigrants, two of them - Texas and Florida - are controlled by Republicans, and it’s not even a close contest.

So where is the impact of all the Democratic voting illegal immigrants? You can’t find it, can you? That’s because it doesn’t exist. It’s not happening.

”They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.” If Trump says it, MAGA will believe anything.
