A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Trump: “Hold it. Hold it. Fake news. She’s fake news. The worst.” This is how a weak and insecure man responds when asked simple questions by a smart woman. The men standing around her saying nothing are the same men that would just look away if they saw another man beating on a woman.
