THE 2016 US ELECTION WAS RIGGED AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS
Voters in Arizona, November 2016.
In the November 2016 election, voter turnout was up 4.7% around the country - USA Today
Turnout for the US election was expected to smash records as huge queues built up.
Yet, Donald Trump won one million fewer votes than Mitt Romney in 2012.
And many of Clinton's votes seem to disappear.
Professor Mark Crispin Miller, who dislikes Hillary Clinton, says the 2016 election was stolen from the Democrats in a similar fashion to what happened in 2000 and 2004.
1.1 million people, mainly minorities, were removed from the voting rolls in swing states using a system called 'Cross Check.'
Ballot protection software on the new Ohio voting machines was TURNED OFF.
The Democrats?
Barack Obama's 52% approval rating makes him more popular than Ronald Reagan at the end of his second term.
How it happened - The Economist
On the eve of America's presidential election, national surveys gave Hillary Clinton a lead of around four percentage points, which betting markets and statistical models translated into a probability of victory ranging from 70% to 99%.
The polls suggested that Clinton would have easy wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Protests against Trump
Trump?
Donald Trump won one million fewer votes than Mitt Romney in 2012.
Exit polls suggest 61% of voters considered Trump unqualified to be president and only 34% said he had the right personality and temperament.
How did the polls get it wrong? | The Economist
Did 5 million votes for Hillary Clinton go missing?
2016 - total votes for all candidates: 125,644,750.
2016 - 131,7000,000 people voted.
Remember Gore and Florida?
The history of 'rigged' US elections: from Bush v Gore to Trump.
No, a Florida whistleblower did not uncover 'massive voter fraud' (and other election hoaxes you might be seeing online)
Donald Trump's campaign paid at least $1.8 million to Nathan Sproul whose companies include several that have been repeatedly investigated for voter fraud.
In a 2012 Florida case, three employees of Sproul's firm pleaded guilty to forging voter registrations.
"In California, Oregon, Nevada and Florida, Nathan Sproul's workers were investigated on suspicion of forging signatures, destroying Democratic voter registrations or changing the addresses of legitimately registered voters without their consent, according to former employees, state investigations and news reports."
Trump, GOP paying consultant dogged by voter fraud charges
Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!
In Pensylvania, the vote was close and easy to rig.
The 2016 election returns in Pennsylvania:
Donald Trump: 2,894,757
Hillary Clinton: 2,822,963
In Pennsylvania, "voters chose Trump while electing three statewide Democrats," said PennLive.
Only 112000 Voters Gave Us President Trump
..Clinton: 60,122,876 votes.
Trump: 59,821,874 votes
Other candidates 5,892,512 votes
Total all candidates: 125,644,750 votes
Voter "turnout was128 million by the afternoon" of 11 8 2016
The US Elections Project estimated that 130.8 million Americans cast a ballot in 2016
Turnout update: 131.7 million voted in the 2016 election (56.9%).

2008 election results
Obama: 69,498,516 votes. McCain: 59,948,323 votes.

Voter turnout was 131 million Americans.
Can anyone explain the apparently odd results for 2016?
In the USA, nationwide protests have erupted against Trump.
There is a belief that the election was rigged.
The final polls showed Clinton in the lead.
...
How might the election have been rigged?
When looking for possible rigging, one looks at the states which Trump won by a very small margin.
In Florida, Clinton got 48% (4,485,745 votes) of the vote and Trump 49% (4,605,515 votes).
In Pensylvania, Clinton got 48% (2,844,705 votes) Trump got 49% (2,912,941 votes).
| Michigan | |
|---|---|

48%
2,279,210
|
 |
47%
2,267,373
|
In Colorado, Hillary Clinton got 47% of the vote, and Trump 45%.
You could argue that the Clinton people rigged the vote in Colorado, or, that the Trump people found it too difficult to rig the vote in Colorado.
Colorado voted for Obama in 2008.
However, the voting system in Colorado is not untypical of the voting systems in other states.
On voting day, 11 9 2016, a Denver Elections Officer reported that all the electronic voting systems had crashed across the state of Colorado, a swing state.
All voting systems DOWN in key swing state.
You only have to hack some systems in quiet rural areas, in order to rig the election.
There have been reports of votes being cast in the names of dead voters.
Colorado makes widespread use of mail ballots - 95 percent of votes cast in 2014 were on mail ballots.
Mary Eberle, an election-integrity advocate, says the mail ballot system makes it impossible to know how many times voters fill out ballots that never make it to the clerk's office to be counted.
Eberle was among a majority of Boulder County canvass board members who voted not to certify certain election results in 2012 and 2014.

"Under Obama, after tax income for the bottom fifth of households did increase by about 18 percent, or $2,200, according to a recent Council of Economic Advisers study.

Trump has been buying steel from China.
In recent construction projects, Trump bought his steel and aluminum from Chinese manufacturers rather than United States corporations based in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Hopefully, Trump will not go to extremes.
"The two scariest words in economics are not (yet) Donald Trump.
"They are Smoot-Hawley.
"I’m referring to the imposition by President Herbert Hoover of destructive tariffs on more than 20,000 imported goods in 1930, an act of madness that helped turn what should have been a short US recession into a worldwide, epoch-defining depression.
"Trade fell by more than half as other countries retaliated with their own tariffs on American goods. Millions of jobs were annihilated.
"The tariffs, named after Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis C Hawley, were the single greatest economic blunder of all time and accelerated the march towards the Second World War."
If Trump means what he says on trade, we all face economic doom

Both Clinton and Trump have to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is robots.
A new study from Oxford University shows that nearly half of the jobs in the USA are at risk of computerisation.
Robots will likely take over 47% of jobs in the USA.

Trump has to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is inequality.

"If you'd told my parents that under these circumstances, there would be millions and millions of people living in poverty, they would have said it was impossible."

Will a robot take your job?.
"Our findings imply that as technology races ahead, low-skilled workers will move to tasks that are not susceptible to computerisation - i.e., tasks that required creative and social intelligence."
"For workers to win the race, however, they will have to acquire creative and social skills."
The US education system should turn out more entertainers, artists, news reporters, lawyers...
As the US population ages, it does not need lots of immigrants to do the jobs that robots can do.
The government may have to pay a universal basic income to those with no jobs.
Trump seems to have no clear answer to the problem of robots.
Trump says he is aware that one of the USA's main economic problems is the neglect of transport and other infrastructure, particularly in the poorer parts of the nation.
But, jobs building bridges and roads do come to an end once the projects are completed.
Six of the ten richest counties in America are in Virginia and Maryland, clustered around the Washington, D.C., metro area.
North Carolina will not prosper unless it has brilliant road and rail links to Washington and elsewhere.

Military Spending.
Trump has to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is spending too much money on the military.
Trump has called for a military spending increase.
Oxford Economics has found that if fully implemented, Trump's economic, tax and immigration policies would cost 4 million U.S. jobs, weigh down global growth and U.S. consumer spending, and could spark a trade war with other nations.

4. Trump wants free trade agreements that allow US companies to take over the world.
Trump likes the fact that the United States records trade surpluses with, for example, Hong Kong, Netherlands and Australia.
Trump does not like the fact that the USA has a trade deficit with China.
5. A trade deficit can mean that a nation's wealthy citizens are so wealthy that they can afford to buy whatever good things that other nations have to offer.
Trump can buy whisky from the UK, perfumes from France, gems from India and toys from China.
The United States exports more than any country in the world, except China.
The USA's trade deficit is relatively small by world standards.

9. Donald Trump promises to force Apple Inc. to manufacture in the United States.
If Apple makes its stuff in the USA, then either it pays wages as low as those in China, or it finds it cannot compete with Samsung and other rivals.
If US firms are going to pay lower wages, that does not help the retail industry.
An Apple video iPod assembled in China sells for roughly $300 in the United States.
Very little of that $300 goes to the Chinese firms.
"The Chinese get only about six bucksworth of value from the item’s assembly and shipment. Meanwhile, the U.S.-based Apple and its affiliates get hundreds of dollars from an iPhone’s final U.S. sale (for things like design, marketing, and even some manufacturing)."

Trump wants the top rate on income to fall from about 40% to 25%, 'meaning a tax bonanza for the rich and super-rich'.
Those in the top 0.1% would see their taxes reduced by an average of $1.3 million, or 19% of their after-tax-income.
