Trump's Dangerous Claims About Voter Fraud

oday Donald Trump claimed the presidential election was already "rigged" against him. "They even want to try to rig the election at the polling place," Trump told a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "So many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is very, very common."

Baloney. Voter fraud is almost non-existent. In a report "The Truth About Voter Fraud," the highly respected Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law cited voter fraud incident rates between 0.00004 percent and 0.0009 percent.

But the truth doesn’t matter to Trump, who, in anticipation of a defeat November 8, wants to cast a pall of illegitimacy over the coming Hillary Clinton administration. Never before in American history has the nominee of a major party displayed such irresponsible and dangerous behavior. The man is a menace to our democracy.
