According to a poll conducted by two academic authors and published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.

Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

    2. There IS pervasive fraud, has been for a long time. Kennedy is probably the first POTUS elected on the margin of fraud, but probably not the last.

    3. We are regularly told THERE IS NO FRAUD and if you keep looking for it you are RAACCISSSSS!

    What's your evidence? Surely, if there's been some sort of massive fraud going on that long, there's some kind of proof out there for it. A lot of that stuff's old enough that it's been declassified by now if that was how it happened.

    The reason you're told that there's no fraud is that there's about as much evidence of the existence of something like the alleged organized voter fraud as there is of the existence of God: A bunch of rumors and anecdotes, a few claims by people with much to gain if you believe them, and little-to-nothing of hard facts.

    He's right, there *is* pervasive fraud. It is called "gerrymandering."

      But that's been going on since the days of Mr Elbridge Gerry, after which it was named back in 1810. It sounds like there's a different assertion on the table right now, with no evidence whatsoever.

          It is hilarious seeing uzzie proclaim his genius and then let a simple joke like that go wooshing over his head.

            In fairness, when your head's 2/3 beak and spends most of its time up a decomposing zebra's asshole, I imagine a *lot* would go over it.
