Discussion: Maine Gov. LePage Echoes Trump, Says Elections 'Rigged' Without Voter ID

I know I’m being idealistic, but it’s still hard for me to believe that many millions of voters buy in to this ridiculously inane jiggery pokery.

…I don’t think that elections in the state of Maine or in the United States are legitimate.

Oh, okay. I guess I’ve been too hard on Maine for electing this deranged racist idiot. His elections were rigged, so it isn’t Mainers’ fault.

until we do that, I don’t think that elections in the state of Maine or in the United States are legitimate

Those elections twice made you governor. The election results might be mind-boggling, and saddening, but they aren’t ilegitimate.

“You gotta have photo IDs when you cash checks, you gotta have photo IDs every place you go,”

now… I realize that I live in northern California but I can’t remember the last time I had to show ID to get cash… ATMs are pretty ubiquitous and they don’t ask for a photo ID… just your ATM card… so that ya gotta have ID dodge is getting pretty lame…

for awhile I had to show a photo ID at my medical clinic but even they don’t ask anymore… I kept asking who is going to try to impersonate me when all I’m doing is having a needle stuck in my arm to draw blood… unless someone gets off on rectal exams…

“You gotta have photo IDs when you cash checks, you gotta have photo IDs every place you go,” LePage said in the radio interview. “In fact, I don’t know how many times you gotta take your license out of your wallet to show it to people. And so until we do that, I don’t think that elections in the state of Maine or in the United States are legitimate.”

You can drop off your resignation letter anytime now, Mr. “Unduly-Elected” Governor.

“Will people from the cemetery be voting? Yes, all around the country,” LePage said during an interview on Maine radio station WVOM, as reported by CNN’s KFILE.

Isn’t this the party that wanted to keep Scalia on the bench after he died? I still haven’t forgotten that particular bit of genius from them.

I would be perfectly willing to require photo ID for elections if states were willing to not impose a poll tax by paying all the costs of acquiring said ID. In advance. Preferably by docking the paychecks of legislators voting for such ID requirements.

Oh. I think the citizenry of this nation have a pronounced capacity for falling for mindless drivel.

those that don’t believe it are willing to fan the flames, because of SCOTUS, etc.

Governor Bullfrog should step down and new elections should be held immediately as the ones that put him in power were as crooked as a concrete business in New York City.

“And so until we do that, I don’t think that elections in the state
of Maine or in the United States are legitimate. I mean, we know that there are
counties in this country that get more votes than there are citizens in their
county, so what’s that tell you?”

See? He even said so.

And what counties is Governor Bullfrog talking about that “everybody knows” about? Cause I don’t know what he’s talking about. Unless he’s repeating that same b.s. that ex-Senator Norm Coleman was after Sen. Al Franken beat his ass in Minnesota. Coleman whined more than a jet does during takeoff:

Gov Lepage suffers from the same Scientific American article of Trump Syndrome. Get some sleep Gov.

Darn straight! Did you know that not a single one of the electors that selected Washington was a US citizen at birth? We can’t let that happen again, and voter IDs will prevent it.

I’ve never understood this Voter Fraud thing. WHAT Voter Fraud? And MY dad was a cop. You’d think he would have been busting illegal voters right and left it if was a problem.

I tell people I grew up in North Dakota and it hasn’t had voter registration for almost 70 years and they don’t believe me.

With LePage and other RNC people making the rigged election claim, it seems like a synchronized campaign to encourage down ballot voting knowing that cheeto anus is toast.

You beat me to it. It’s nearly the exact phrasing I’d have used.

Hey, cowardly, loudmouthed, fat, white, pasty, racist, morons have to stick together against the “Slim.D, and Homeys” you know. Why, how can we safely “Grab them by the Pussy” if those “Filthy Drug-Dealing Ni(CLANG!)s” have had sex with them first!?!?!?

Well, I guess that explains how this clown got elected - twice. It was the dead Mainers. Like something out of a Stephen King story.

Well, it is easy to understand why the GOP pushes the notion. I’ve given up on trying to understand why so many people seem convinced it is real – especially given that ID laws address only in-person voter fraud. In-person fraud is the most labor-and-time intensive, is the most likely to be discovered, gains only a single vote at a time, and insures that there will be eyewitnesses to a crime that carries severe penalties.

Of course they buy into this, we live side by side with people who are self absorbed, the they live in tick tacky houses, socialize with the same type of people as them. Love to complain about taxes and “those people” getting all the brakes but nothing about businesses getting way more. If the average of these folks is forty years old then the only thing I can think of is polyester and leisure suits, and leisure suits worn with ties wide enough to be considered baby bibs, which is how they act.
