2016 Election Rigged for Trump
Trump was a illegitimate President who LOST by almost 3 million votes. Republicans used Crosscheck to illegally purge thousands of voters off the voter roles, Trump conspired with the National Enquirer to smear political opponents, and Putin / Russia helped Trump’s campaign. Therefore the 2016 election was rigged for Trump using unscrupulous, underhanded means.
2016 Election Rigged for Trump
When Donald Trump said, “This election is rigged”—he should know. His buddies rigged it.
Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast busted Jeb Bush for stealing the 2000 election by purging Black voters from Florida’s electoral rolls. Now Palast is back to take a deep dive into the Republicans’ dark operation, Crosscheck, the secret purge list that helped steal the 2016 Election.
Crosscheck is controlled by a Trump henchman, Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State who claims his computer program has identified 7.2 million people in 29 states who may have voted twice in the same election–a felony crime. The catch? Most of these “suspects” are minorities—in other words, mainly Democratic voters. Yet the lists and the evidence remain “confidential”.
Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast busted Jeb Bush for stealing the 2000 election by purging Black voters from Florida’s electoral rolls. Now Palast is back to take a deep dive into the Republicans’ dark operation, Crosscheck, designed to steal a million votes by November.
Crosscheck is controlled by a Trump henchman, Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State who claims his computer program has identified 7.2 million people in 29 states who may have voted twice in the same election–a felony crime. The catch? Most of these “suspects” are minorities—in other words, mainly Democratic voters. Yet the lists and the evidence remain “confidential.”
Palast and his investigative side-kick Badpenny do what it takes to get their hands on the data, analyze it and go find some of these 7.2 million Americans tagged “suspects” and “potential duplicate voters” whose votes are threatened this November.
They hunt down and confront Kobach with the evidence of his “lynching by laptop.” Then they are off to find the billionaires behind this voting scam.
In this interview, Greg talks about his new film, “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy”. Called “The most important investigative journalist of our time”, Palast has been working for the BBC for 20 years and writes for the Guardian and the Rolling Stone.
In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged enough minority voters to swing the election for Donald Trump.
The rigging was a simple process: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.
The above video recorded on November 26, 2017 with MSNBC Host Joy Reid interviewing Greg Palast is the only interview done about this on any Television Network.
Millions of Black, Hispanic & Asians Voters Have Been Purged
Greg Palast, Al Jazeera, BBC News, The Guardian/Billionaires & Ballot Bandits joins Thom Hartmann. Jim Crow-style voter suppression has returned to America. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new report from investigative journalist Greg Palast for Al Jazeera America that takes a deep dive into a controversial program known as Interstate Crosscheck. According to his investigation “election officials in 27 states, most of them Republicans, have launched a program that threatens a massive purge of voters from the rolls. Millions, especially black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters, are at risk.”

Per the above article: The massive election-rigging scandal the media ignored. In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged minority votes
The election of 2016 may well have been stolen — or to use Donald Trump’s oft-repeated phrase — “rigged,” and nobody in the media seems willing to discuss it.
The rigging was a pretty simple process, in fact: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.
Greg Palast, an award-winning investigative journalist, writes a stinging piece in Rolling Stone magazine (August 2016 edition), predicting that the presidential election had already been decided: “The GOP’s Stealth War Against Voters.” He also wrote and produced a brilliant documentary on this exact subject that was released well before the election, titled The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
He said a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck had been quietly put together in Kansas and was being used by Republican secretaries of state in 27 states to suppress and purge African American, Asian and Hispanic votes in what would almost certainly be the swing states of the 2016 election.
Crosscheck was started by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach back in 2007 under the guise of combating so-called voter fraud. In the ultimate thumb in the eye to the American voter, the state where Crosscheck started was the only state to refuse to participate in a New York Times review of voter fraud in the 2016 election, which found that, basically, there wasn’t any fraud at the level of individual voters. Turns out, according to Palast, that a total of 7 million voters—including up to 344,000 in Pennsylvania, 589,000 in North Carolina and up to 449,000 in Michigan (based on available Crosscheck data from 2014)—may have been denied the right to have their votes counted under this little known but enormously potent Crosscheck program.
2016 Exit Polls vs. Actual Results: Here’s What May Have Happened
The 2016 presidential election polls show that Donald Trump lost in four key swing states. Did Hillary Clinton win the election after all? Here are the facts.
Here are examples of Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
“University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Kenneth Mayer found that between 12,000 and 23,000 registered voters in Madison and Milwaukee—and as many as 45,000 statewide—were deterred from voting by the ID law. “We have hard evidence there were tens of thousands of people who were unable to vote because of the voter ID law”. Link to full article below.
That’s way more than enough votes to swing the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.
There’s more…
Exit polls in key states, FLORIDA , NORTH CAROLINA and WISCONSIN showed Hillary Clinton the winner.
Using exit poll totals compiled by election researcher Theodore de Macedo Soares, seen in the table below on this page as well as available at this link, compared to an ongoing tally of raw votes totals posted at this link by Dave Wasserman of Cook Political Report, here is the discrepancy that has caused the suspicions of what Trump himself would call a “rigged election.”
Note that actual vote totals are compiled as of November 16.
FLORIDA — 29 Electoral Votes
(numbers equal percentage points)
Exit Polls: Clinton 47.7, Trump 46.4 — Clinton wins by 1.3
Actual: Clinton 47.8, Trump 49.0 — Trump wins by 1.2
Trump gain between exit polls and actual results: 2.5
NORTH CAROLINA — 15 Electoral Votes
Exit Polls: Clinton 48.6, Trump 46.5 — Clinton wins by 2.1
Actual: Clinton 46.1, Trump 49.9 — Trump wins by 3.8

OTHER SOURCES CLAIM THE 2016 ELECTION WAS RIGGED
The League of Women Voters claim “The 2016 Presidential Election WAS Rigged” in their article at lwv.org/press-releases/2016-presidential-election-was-rigged by Voter Suppression.
Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters stated “In Wisconsin, President-elect Trump beat Secretary Clinton by roughly 27,000 votes, however according to federal court, 300,000 registered voters lacked the proper photo ID.
Details regarding 300,000 registered voters lacked photo ID at thenation.com/article/the-gops-attack-on-voting-rights-was-the-most-under-covered-story-of-2016/
“We are not talking about vigilante voter intimidation,” said Carson. “We are talking about official, legal voter suppression by state legislatures and election officials.”
Like the 2000 & 2004 Elections, this matter is not being reported by the mainstream media.
The GOP’s Stealth War Against Voters
Will an anti-voter-fraud program designed by one of Donald Trump’s advisers deny tens of thousands their right to vote in November?
Yes, the election was rigged. Here’s the proof.
It starts with this story in Wisconsin.
Writer and author Thom Hartman discusses exit polls which showed Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump in states like Florida. Also discussed is a Voter Suppression tactic Republicans has been using for the last 50 years called “Redshift”.
Clint Curtis, a veteran computer programmer, testifies at a U.S. Congressional Hearing about being contacted by a Florida Republican to rig Florida’s elections.
In the above video, a computer programmer (Clint Curtis) testified to a congressional committee that in October of 2000, he wrote a program for a prominent Florida Republican (Tom Feeney, who was Speaker of the House, per testimony in the above video) which could flip votes and be undetectable. In September 2006, Feeney was named one of the “20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress”.
This shows Republicans history of efforts to rig / flip elections so it would be undetectable.
Note how this machine is rigged for Romney in 2012. It appears when a voting machine is rigged, it’s usually rigged for a Republican. Most companies which makes voting machine are owned by Republican owners.
UPDATE: Jan 24, 2007 Two election workers in the state’s most populous county were convicted of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes.
Jacqueline Maiden, the elections’ coordinator who was the board’s third-highest ranking employee when she was indicted last March, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee.
Maiden and Dreamer also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty. Both Maiden & Dreamer got 18 months in prison.
Mapping Donald Trump’s Many Ties To Vladimir Putin’s Russia
Timeline of 3 Trump-Russia Scandals
The US intelligence community found that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 US election by boosting Donald Trump and harming Hillary Clinton, according to the declassified intelligence report released by the Director of National Intelligence.

Trump was complicit in Espionage when he said; Russia: “If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”. It’s clear Russia was listening because within hours, Wikileaks released 8,000 DNC emails. The DNC was hacked by two groups that linked to senior levels of the Russian government.

National Enquirer Helped Elect Trump
Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him for his alleged role in arranging a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
On 26 October 2016, 11 days before election day, Michael Cohen initiated a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who said she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. While prosecutors have identified two other hush-money payments to people who said they had stories about Trump, one a former Trump Tower doorman and the other Karen McDougal a former Playboy model, the actual charges for the case stem just from Daniels’ payments. That’s because the other hush-money payments were made by American Media, the parent company of the tabloid National Enquirer. Leaders of the company, especially the then CEO, David Pecker, were close allies of Trump and told him early in his campaign that they would help him with any scandalous stories that might come out about him.
But Trump paid Daniels himself, albeit through Cohen. Each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records represents a document that prosecutors said included hush-money payments masked as legal fees to Cohen.
Falsifying Business Records in the Second Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)
N.Y. Penal Law § 175.05: This statute makes it unlawful to intentionally:
- make a false business record;
- cause a false business record to be made;
- alter or erase a truthful entry in a business record;
- omit a truthful statement from a business record; or
- prevent a truthful statement from being made.
Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (Class E Felony)
N.Y. Penal Law § 175.10: Falsifying business records in the first degree has all of the same requirements as falsifying a business record in the second degree. However, first degree charges requires intent to defraud through the commission of an additional crime–like using your false business record to carry out tax fraud.
Falsifying business records involves intentionally creating, altering, or destroying documents related to a business or organization. This can include financial records, invoices, contracts, inventory reports, or any other official documentation. The purpose behind falsification can vary, but it often aims to misrepresent financial health, hide illegal activities, or gain an advantage such as tax evasion. [Source: theblanchlawfirm.com/practice-areas/white-collar-crime/falsifying-business-records]
The above video explains how personal attorney / fixer Michael Cohen paid “hush money” to porn star Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 Presidential Election on Trump’s behalf which NY prosecutors claim is a Campaign Finance Violation. Fixer Michael Cohen served over 1 year in prison for being a co-conspirator for this offense.
This has nothing to do with Politics. This is about violating Campaign Finance laws.
Michael Cohen secret recording of conversation with Trump
Trump has tried to claim he’s being unfairly prosecuted for “Business Records”. Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen released a secret recording of him and Trump from 2016, in which they discuss “Hush Money” payments to model Karen McDougal, who alleges she had an affair with Mr. Trump in 2006.
When you hear Michael Cohen state in the recording; “I need to set up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David”… experts say “David” is David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquire who was involved in a “catch & kill” scheme to buy scandalous stories about Trump and make sure they were never published to the public. This is an example of how Trump had many “protectors” who were complicit in getting Trump elected President and making sure the public never found out about Trump’s scandalous conduct.
Trump’s Cozy Relationship with National Enquirer
Rachel Maddow reports on the outlandish stories the National Enquirer printed leading up to the 2016 election to SMEAR Hillary Clinton to their low information readers, then after she was defeated, the National Enquirer printed stories complimentary to Trump.
Above are just a few of the articles the National Enquirer pumped out to help Trump. The type of mindless people who buys tabloids like the National Enquirer & believes the stories they print are the same type of people who were stupid enough to vote for Trump & support him.
According to stats at americanmediainc.com/brands/national-enquirer, the National Enquirer has a weekly audience of 6,965,000 which is easily enough to help influence the outcome of an election.

The National Enquirer helped get Donald Trump elected President by posting articles complimentary to him and smearing his opponents.
Articles like the one above, claiming “Hillary is going to Jail!” and Corrupt, Racist, Criminal!” were seen seen by millions of people as they went through check-out lines in stores, painting a very negative image of Hillary in the minds of millions of people.
Decades-Old Housing Discrimination Case Plagues Donald Trump
In the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Donald Trump, his father and Trump Management, alleging the Trumps engaged in racial discrimination at their properties.
The claim that Hillary is a Racist was a total lie. Hillary was always an advocate & defender of minorities… the same cannot be said for Trump. Apparently Trump was pissed off that people were calling him a Racist, so he retaliated by calling Hillary a Racist, then the National Enquirer printed the “Corrupt, Racist, Criminal” edition to help Trump.
Throughout Trump’s campaign, Trump and his supporters followed in the footsteps of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels by accusing opponents of that of which Trump was guilty.

Tracing Publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker’s Connection to Trump
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/01/national-enquirer-owner-trump-campaign-491557
Per the above article:
National Enquirer owner pays $187,500 for aiding Trump campaign in hush money deal. The firm that owns the National Enquirer has agreed to pay $187,500 to the Federal Election Commission to settle complaints that it unlawfully aided Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 by suppressing the story of an actress who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump.
The FEC concluded that American Media Inc., now known as A360 Media LLC, made an illegal corporate contribution to Trump’s campaign by paying Karen McDougal $150,000 to give up the rights to her story about Trump.
AMI and its former chief, David Pecker, initially argued through attorneys that they acted as journalists in making the deal with McDougal. However, in 2018 the firm and Pecker entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in New York, stipulating that the arrangement was intended to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Trump Consulted On National Enquirer Stories To Smear His Political Opponents
Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, talks with Rachel Maddow about the stories in his new book, “Disloyal,” including how Donald Trump was looped in on stories run in the National Enquirer to hurt his political opponents.
When Ted Cruz threaten Trump as the GOP front-runner, the Enquirer published a cover story on Cruz headlined “Ted Cruz’s Father Linked to JFK Assassination”
A Wall Street Journal article titled “National Enquirer Shielded Donald Trump From Playboy Model’s Affair Allegation” and claimed in the article that the Enquirer “agreed to pay $150,000 to a former Playboy centerfold model for her story of an affair but then didn’t publish it”
Articles by the National Enquirer about Trump were always Pro-Trump, with no mention about how Trump lies with impunity, his failed businesses, bragging about grabbing women by the pussy or anything negative about him.

National Enquirer publisher fined $187,500 for helping Trump campaign
The owner of the tabloid National Enquirer was fined $187,000 for illegal payments it made to kill a damaging story against Donald Trump in 2016.
Per the above article; “The Federal Election Commission fined the publisher of the National Enquirer $187,000 for payments the tabloid made to hide a story about former President Donald Trump’s ex-mistress while letting Trump and his campaign officials skirt any penalties.
The FEC reached a settlement with the publisher after a complaint from the watchdog group Common Cause, which released the details of the agency’s settlement. The FEC similarly recently declined to bring charges against Trump for directing payments of $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had sex with Trump.
In 2018, the owner of A360 Media LLC, then known as American Media Inc., admitted to paying $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal for exclusive rights to scandalous information about Trump. It was also later found that Trump had attended meetings with the tabloid owner prior to the media group intervening in the story.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, pleaded guilty to counts of campaign finance violations related to payments of the two women in 2018. Trump denies having relations with either woman”.
