I'd say there is a good probability that quite a few votes were cast by people, or in people's names that were not eligible. That's just speculation without an ability to provide proof so I'd agree that it's non-actionable on its own. I also wonder just how many people read stories presenting speculation about individuals and their possible past failings or illegal activity and adopt these as being true even though no real proof is offered. Can you think of anytime that you have done this here in SE?

Rant
President elect AND he's soooo gullible.
When Donald Trump tweeted that “millions” of people voted illegally in the presidential election, headline writers were quick to point out that he had no evidence.
The US president-elect had not given his source but fact-checking websites and newspapers traced it to a two-week-old “random tweet” by a little known former Republican party official in Texas. Gregg Phillips claimed on 12 November to have found “more than three million votes cast by non-citizens” – but he too failed to provide data.
Accused of the very topical sin of spreading fake news, all the way to the White House, Phillips is unrepentant. He stands by his original assertion, though he still offers no evidence, and denies that he was Trump’s inspiration in any case.
Phillips tweeted four days after the election: “Completed analysis of database of 180 million voter registrations. Number of non-citizen votes exceeds 3 million. Consulting legal team.”
That Phillips guy is good....REAL GOOD...checked 180 million voter registrations in 4 days.
I wonder how many Million $ THAT cost...That Stein lady crowd sourced about 6 million and hasn't had a count yet.

Are you suggesting there is NO way for anybody...(even Donald J Trump) to check and see IF all the the votes were legally cast? BEFORE he goes and SPECULATES that something is TRUE/A FACT?
When someone running for POTUS gets on the stage and makes a statement THEY should be positive they get the facts correct...OR don't "speculate".
Do YOU agree?
or don't you want to take a position?

You simply responded with a question of your own. AFAIC, there's no further need to continue.

Trump making a wild claim and then not providing any proof or just pretending he never said anything?
Start another thread about posters in SE not doing their own investigations about posts/claims THEY make.

than Cooper's wild claim that Trump said something 'factually incorrect'....since neither can offer proof. Or don't you agree? Trump isn't an 'investigative' journalist....Cooper is but didn't bother to try to prove his claim against Trump. Whereas there is already plenty of information out there regarding a number of States where illegal votes could easily have been cast.

TheRUMP doesn't 'investigate" anything.
He hires people to investigate(or he claims he does)...they report back(or he claims they report back) with their findings and he still tells a lie.

A rant is something I consider to be an oral tantrum. Tantrums are something I consider to be unworthy of discussion but best suited to either be ignored or corrected. The number of times you seem to have already indicted a person based on accusation alone is legion. Wanting to call attention to another person's doing the same (and doing so as a rant) is, IMO, preposterous.

and yet you responded...
Don't interrupt people when they are on a rant?

I've personally heard/seen TheRUMP make many claims that I've NEVER seen him provide proof for...NOT that I haven't searched.

which "system"?...the electoral system?...the one that TheRUMP won?

You OK Toni?

the DNC system......all rigged. He won because the people figured it out, and NONE of those systems can get over the fact that he TOLD the people HOW it was rigged and they are all still out of touch with reality.
- Collapse -
and the people that supported the DNC discovered it was rigged, so they left?
They didn't enjoy winning?
The DNC had moral standards?
AND they are out of touch with reality?
- Collapse -
Are you denying that the DNC was rigged against Sanders and that TWO of their leaders were/are corrupt? Was the liberal and in the tank for hilLIARy media 'moral' when they contacted the DNC to get the questions the DNC wanted asked of Trump for an interview they were doing? Does any of that sound 'moral' to you? And obviously they are out of touch with reality if they think they can replace the head of the DNC with a great 'moral compass' like Ellis.....

were for more clarification from what you were asking, because none of what you asked made sense as usual.

There are more than 4 people reading posts in this forum...many ignore, some feel the need to correct.
