The petition alleges that the Russian government worked in collusion with the FBI, even though there are no sources that show the allegation is accurate. It also mentions "widespread voting malfeasance and suppression," something that Democratic leadership has, for years, insisted was not an existing problem in U.S. elections.
Started by a woman in Massachusetts, the petition says the new election should be held in federal buildings and overseen by federal officials:
In light of recent evidence reported by the CIA, that the United States 2016 Presidential Election has been infiltrated and tampered with by the Russian government to elect Donald J. Trump, in collusion with the FBI, and abetted by widespread voting malfeasance and suppression, We The People of the United States demand a new vote on the 2016 Presidential election, to take place in Federal buildings, and overseen by the Federal Government.The petition has been signed by nearly 70,000 people and needs only 5,000 more to be delivered to Obama. It is unclear if the author of the petition has a basic understanding of the election process, and her sources of the incorrect information are unknown; however, it seems likely that "fake news" of some sort is the culprit.
Ive always leaned towards the Democratic side of the tracks when it came to political views..........but my party doesnt exist anymore. I am one of these middle class workers who believed that yes you should work hard but be there to help your fellow man. I was even secretive about my voting for Trump......I simply didnt want to hear what a woman hating....racist..uneducated white man I am. THATS what they wanted me to believe..........but none ever asked why I did it. They dont care...........You see........I am self employed and I was flat out lied to by MY PRESIDENT........that if I liked my insurance I could keep my insurance........WRONG. It has been a disaster !!!! The liberals dont care though.........and they made a BIG BIG BIG mistake.........they alienated the base of the party (middle class blue collar workers) in favor of of gays on a rainbow parade float in jockstraps.......thugs who rob convenience stores(now martyrs)......Rosie .Whoppi.....and the rest of the cackling bitches on the View.....CNN ( Clinton News Network)..ectect. They DONT care.......They wanted Hillary so they could feel good about themselves.........THATS IT. They still dont get it and never will.....they ignored the foundation of the party...and thats politics 101........When you live in a bubble where its "your way or the highway".............this is what happens. Lets see ( Im getting ready to vote)..........My health Insurance.........or Trump grabbed a pussy 15 years ago.............sorry.......I will do the Insurance thing..............So lets see.......Trump cheated.....Russia did it.........Jill Stein to the rescue............they just wont get it. Most of all I watched HillBilly Bitch for 2 weeks telling everyone what a horrible thing it was if Trump could not accept the results........and her minions booed and hissed...........HA ! This is not my party anymore............Ive grown up.
