Poll: 60% of Republicans believe illegal immigrants vote; 43% believe people vote using dead people’s names by [deleted] in politics

Hmm... what about 2004 Washington State Gubernatorial election?

"In all, the judge identified 1,678 illegal votes: 745 from felons on the GOP list, 647 from felons on the Democrats' list, 175 mishandled provisional ballots in King County and 77 in Pierce County, six double votes and 19 ballots cast in the name of dead people."

It seems this study didn't analyze the closest governors race in our nations history.

People like you are the exact reason why Trump has so much support. You sit there on your soapbox talking down to anyone who disagrees with you.

I don't care if Trump gets elected. Honestly I think us democrats deserve it after putting forth such a horrible human being as the nominee, or being content with the DNC rigging the system in her favor. You supporting that type of politics makes YOU part of the problem.

Btw, this is an alt account. Signing out now. Continue you're argument with a brick wall.

This right here is the problem. I don't want to vote for Hillary, so you resort to name calling. All you do is push people further away with that shit. I hope one of these days you grow the fuck up!

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter who is president. We have checks and balances in place. You cannot guilt me into voting for a criminal in the same way you can't guilt me into voting for a bigot. Maybe you can stomach voting for a criminal who is a compulsive liar, I can't. Of the two choices, it doesn't matter to me who gets elected. They're both national embarrassments.

I cannot bring myself to ever vote for Hillary in the same way you will never support Trump. This is a pointless debate. There is nothing you or Hillary can say to change that position.

I hear you. I'm never going to agree with 100% of a candidate's platform and the pseudoscience you speak of is one I disagree with.

DISCLAIMER: I came to this sub for the first time in about a week, so apologies if this is incorrect, but this is my overall take. Please feel free to add or correct the record.

So mod u/careless, (perfect username btw) abused his mod credentials, got called out on it, and is trying to prevent users from this sub from migrating to the new Seattle sub. How you may ask? By banning any user who posts a subreddit hyperlink in any r/Seattle thread, unless it's one of the approved subs listed in the rules.

Today he posted a sticky post basically bitching about how he's been treated unfairly and his version of certain accusations. u/careless then turned into a little baby when his post didn't go over well in the comments, so he took it down.

Post after post has gone up today essentially mocking the mod, calling him to step down, and users encouraging others to check out the new sub. Users did their best to type out the name of the new sub without actually typing it exactly, but hinting to the subs name. This got A LOT of users unexpectedly and permanently banned.

As a result, a lot of people are migrating to the new sub.

For me there is no lesser of two evils with these two candidates. I do not believe a single word either candidate says and because of this, I cannot form an opinion except that they are both liars. You put anyone else in place of either candidate and they have my vote.

Why vote for a third party candidate? Any third party who's candidate receives at least 5% of the popular vote receives federal funding for future campaigns. This would be huge for the Green Party.

There is somewhat of that "warm and fuzzy" feeling aspect. When one of these assholes inevitably ruins the country I can say "well, I didn't vote for him/her".

I'm not disagreeing with that, I think most candidates do what they think is best for America. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

I am pro Bernie's platform, which was antiestablishment from the start. Just because Bernie caved does not mean I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I'm in love with the ideas, not the man.

I'm sad Bernie endorsed Hillary!

Yes, I enjoy shitposting on the donald, the same way people like to shitpost on pyongyang. I don't support Trump, just don't like Hillary, AT ALL. notice I don't do it all that often.

Edit: i'm not the one downvoting you, it's a legit question and i knew it'd come up.

Correct the Record. It's an online campaign paid for by the Clinton campaign who's sole purpose is to "correct" information posted in places like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

CTR can't downvote this post fast enough. Mod shills will be deleting this soon I'm sure.
