Fraud claim used only to justify power grab

Whenever Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell or Kellyanne Conway use the term, "the American people have spoken" to back the claim of support for President Trump's initiatives, they should remember that the American people did speak and a 3 million majority voted for Hillary Clinton.

I now realize the impetus behind the president's claim of voter fraud: he wants to be able to say the American people did choose him.

On behalf of America's election judge workers, I take offense at the claim of massive voter fraud.

I have been an election judge in Schaumburg Township for 15 years, and in all that time, have never had even one attempt at illegal voting. This non-fraud has occurred in a state that does not require driver's licenses but does have verification protocols.

If there has been massive voter fraud, it would have occurred in many states that require voter ID. So, either voter ID laws do not work in reducing fraud or voter ID laws do work and there has been no voter fraud. Choose one, they cannot both exist at once.

Where is the young man who will loudly proclaim, "the emperor has no clothes"?
