There is no voter fraud, at least not of the kind suggested. The idea of someone pretending to be someone else and then going to a polling station to impersonate that person, risking a prison sentence, to cast one vote is ludicrous and has been debunked. It simply doesn't happen.

There is however large scale systemic voter fraud committed by republican states denying the right to vote to minorities.

Its weird how it always seems to be the GOP who complain about rampant voter fraud when there isn't any and put stringent rules and regs in when not needed knowing full well why they are doing it.

It's close. There are some key seats that could still go either way which would swing it one way or the other.

I read that Nigel Farage is going to be assisting Trump in preparing for his next debate with Clinton, UKIP deny it but he's definitely been close to Trump this last few months, speaking at a rally along side him for example, it has been widely reported too - although that's no indicator of truth I guess.

Now Trump says he may challenge the result if Clinton wins, claiming voter fraud may swing it. Somewhat foolish statement from someone when their campaign chief registered to vote at an empty house...

Also seems to say affairs are okay as long as you're not president at the time.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/30/tr...

In other news, Trump may have avoided paying tax at all for up to 18 years! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-3753326...

It's not foolish at all IMO. This way if he loses it's exactly for the reasons he predicted, and if he wins it's despite the Dems/Immigrants/Mexicans conspiring to rig it. Win-win.

Facts are just that, facts. My opinion is irrelevant. Fact checking should be based on facts. Not propaganda nor journalists opinions.
You're not interested in facts Country and Western. You're like the other blinkered halfwits, you like Trump despite the facts because in him you can see your racism and prejudices reflected straight back at you.

You ignore the facts that disqualify Trump from any elected office let alone the highest. Here's just a few, all of which would individually disqualify him..

1. Trump U. A Ponzi scheme that ruined thousands of ordinary Americans and over which he's being sued by 3,500. In itself a disqualifier and something that will eventually ruin Trump financially.

2. He said he would force the military to commit war crimes.

3. Advocating the murder of terrorists families.

4. Advocating "punishing" women for having an abortion.

5. Mocking a reporters disability.

6. Scamming hundreds if not thousands of small businessmen out of their money by refusing to pay his bills, forcing many to go bust.

7. Disparaging a genuine war hero, John McCain, while himself being a cowardly draft dodger.

8. Refusing to release his tax returns (we all know why).

9. Perpetuating the birther myth about president Obama.

10. Claiming that an American born judge was unfit to judge him because of his Mexican heritage.

11. Falsely claiming to have seen "thousands" of Muslims celebrating after 9/11.

12. Misogyny (Too many cases to list)

13. Hired white supremacists to work on his campaign and failed until pushed to denounce David Duke (who he obviously admires).

14. Accused by his ex wife and the mother of his children of "violent rape".

15. Asked national security advisors why the US couldn't use its nuclear weapons.

16. Six times bankrupt.

17. Suggested that the "sacrifices" he made as a "businessman" were comparable to those of gold star parents.

18. Using Trump Foundation contributions to pay his own debts.

19. Claimed to see the nonexistent footage of cash airlifted to Iran.

20. Suggested that Ted Cruz's father was involved in assassinating JFK.

21. Suggesting that Muslims should be banned from entering the US.

Etc... There are literally hundreds more. The man is beyond the pale and unfit to run an ice cream stand let alone the US.
Don't forget "refused to rent to blacks" smile (url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-the-governments-racial-bias-case-against-donald-trumps-company-and-how-he-fought-it/2016/01/23/fb90163e-bfbe-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html]source[/url])

Also, 18.5 : with many of the debts being lawsuits, including as a plaintiff in defamation suits, and literally dozens of times as a defendant in wage theft/failure to pay disputes ( source). Jesus fking christ, the man makes Mike Ashley look like a philanthropist. He makes Corbyn look clean and Dubya look eloquent. He is literally being cheered on and supported by de facto dictators.

He's not Ted Cruz, mind.
