    Hillary's attorney is in the media's spotlight for conspiring to violate election laws and for other reasons.

    I mentioned it on another thread that election fraud would be used to get an unworthy candidate into the White House. Some people, Chuck Norris being one of them, earlier in the year claimed Hillary was going to use it to her advantage and the Republicans obviously are considering it too.

    How do you think these allegations [violation of election laws] will affect the Clinton campaign?

    I couldn't open the link for some reason.

    On elections, I remember in '12 when some precincts reported OVER 100% of their registered voting population as having voted for Obama, with NONE for Romney. :rolleyes:

    Some believe that the only reason she hasn't dropped out yet is because some very powerful folks with lots of money and power have assured her that they've somehow "rigged" the election. Not saying I necessarily believe it, but very little surprises me anymore.

    I also remember it being reported at various places in at least 5-6 states that voting machines were defaulting to "Obama" even when voters were casting votes for "Romney". It has been reported previously that the company the govt uses to supply voting machines is supposedly owned by one of Soros's companies.

    The U.S is supposed to be a Democracy but apparently it's slowly transforming into something else. If [I'm only speculating] the outcome of the 2012 elections was predetermined then this disturbing trend is going to make the whole election process a scam. The elections next year will prove to us whether Democracy still exists in the U.S.

    I think it will depend on how much play it gets in the press. I think that those who will support Hillary are going to do so regardless. However, no one is the party is enthusiastic about her, and odds are with the bad karma she brings on herself and her campaign she will not win the nomination. Who knows? She may spend the rest of her life fighting legal battles.

    Unbelievably sleazy ethics and butchering the English language. Lovely.

    I can't say I'm surprised though, considering the election antics that have gone on in the last few cycles.

    I am not shocked by this at all because politics is a dirty profession. The biggest criminals in this world are politicians. Hillary is done in my opinion with her campaign running.

    A. This is due to our gerrymandering lines splitting up voting districts by party lines. There are many districts in urban areas that are completely African-american or other minorities. Obama carried a huge percentage of the African american vote so the odds are in his favor a few of these districts would vote unanimously. I am certain there were other districts that voted entirely for Romney.

    B. There were just as many reports of voting machines registering Romney votes when Obama was pressed. These are mainly due to poorly calibrated touchscreens. If you've ever bought bananas at a self-checkout your finger may look like its touching the 4 but the screen calibration is off and it shows up as a 1 or a 7.

    A) You cannot have OVER 100% of registered voters voting unless something funny is going on. And it is very unlikely even 100% of tens of thousands in a precinct will all vote for the same candidate, even if that candidate is the same color as even ALL of the voters in that precinct and the other guy is not. Do you have a source for your certainty that other districts carried 100% Romney voted?

    B) I never heard of any machines registering Romney votes when Obama was pressed. Do you have a source for "just as many". I'll assume that that vid is legit, but that still doesn't prove it was "just as many".

    The very few times I've ever used self-checkout, I've never had any issues - but I'll take your word for it.

    First, it was the email scandal now this? I think there are people conspiring to bring Hillary Clinton down since they know her chances of making it to the white house are quite high. I am not surprised though, it is called politics and it is a dirty game.
