Yes, and it is equally possible for the Democrats to steal the elections.

The truth is that both parties are possibly in collusion, and agree on who is going to win.

Now imagine a situation where you have an outsider, an anti-establishment candidate running for president, do you think the election could be rigged to prevent this candidate from winning?

We know without any doubt that both parties did what they could to prevent Trump, and Sanders from winning the nominations, so why wouldn't they try to keep Trump from winning in the general.

It would be illogical to think they won't attempt to prevent Trump from winning. The question is will they go as far as to rig the election results.

I don't know the answer to that question, but it is from a technical standpoint, very easy to rig the election results.

That is what everyone should be concerned about.

Not so easy when they are 10% behind in the vote. Not without a big investigation to find out why all the pollsters were wrong.

There is no such thing as voter or election fraud in the context that it has ever even slightly altered or had the chance of changing an election of any consequence's outcome. What is it, a few dozen documented examples out of a billion votes since 2000?

It is the Republican's last stand to disenfranchise as many legitimate voters as they can as a futile last gasp of stealing some elections, but as the courts have so correctly ruled recently it amounts to nothing more than a blatent and completely illegal move to prevent legitimate voters getting to polling stations and voting successfully once there.

Didn't Kennedy win in 1960 due to voter fraud in Chicago?

Everyone knows, elections are not decided by the number of votes counted. Elections are decided by those counting the votes.

The DNC stole the primary from Sanders for sure. If you think the general election is shady, the primaries are much worse. Each of the parties have absolute control over the results, and there are no laws to regulate the primaries since they are considered private entities who make their own rules.

Despite all the political theater Clinton and Trump are on the same team, so there's no need for any one of them to steal it from the other. Trump's only job is to make her look good.

"Hillary Clinton may be the least liked and overall worst candidate in history, but look Trump is even worse!"
