The Anschluss referendum was pretty obviously rigged.

>German troops posted at each polling station
>ballot reads "Do you agree with the reunification of Austria with the German Reich that was enacted on 13 March 1938, and do you vote for the party of our leader Adolf Hitler?"
>looked like this
>results were 99.7% for the Anschluss

No German pressure there, no siree.

Does gerrymandering count as rigging? Because if you've seen those districts drawn up in 2012.

The 1917 Canadian federal election.

The major election issue was whether or not the government should conscript soldiers to help in the war effort. The Conservatives were for it, the Liberals against. The Conservatives had already postponed the election a year due to the emergency of the war effort because they knew the situation would be more dire a year later. Furthermore, they purposely extended the vote to women, but only women who we're serving in the military or related to a man serving in the military overseas. The result was overwhelmingly in favour of the Conservatives and a year later they extended the vote to all other white women, a demographic that had been largely against conscription.

>>
>>1866902
Voting by counties likely would.
They divide based on demographic generally, but in many areas there is a definite bias. Some whole towns have been split in half between the upper and lower districts. Often times lumping the lower class areas in with the rural lands, or vise-versa to create one area that's solidly in one camp, and another that's a toss up.

Shady, but not precisely rigged. Grey area
>>
>>1866902
Are you joking? It's been demonstrated by numerous studies the whole point of redrawing the maps was to change results.
>>
>>1866951
It just is a fact that gerrymandering does very little to explain the composition of the House of Resp (speaking from US). The left wishes that it did so they could cry (similar to the right desperately trying to cry about voter fraud) but it turns out its just not true. Voters self segregate geographically so hard that any non-demented redrawing would have similar results. Put a big Civilization style hex map over the US and you get basically the same results - might actually favor republicans more because the only hexes that would go blue would be ones containing major metropolitan areas.
>>
>>1866995
And it's been refuted by numerous studies that it actually had any effect.
>>
>>1866996
gerrymandering has a documented fact. When your electoral district is a C shape that cuts through a city and has no discernible demographic or like self-interests or geographic basing. Also, populations aren't even close to as fluid as you seem to think. There are lots of states that are 50/50 democratic to republican yet have 9/10s of the districts as republican (or vice versa).

Many many dead people voted for Kennedy. There is actually a well-known hatred the mob had for JFK, because there is a belief they won him the election cause he's a fellow Catholic and he turned around and attacked organize crime.

The Dems were clearly never gonna get him elected as their representative. Going independent meant giving the win to the Reps. You could say he had a fighting chance as an independent (and I'd agree), but if the cost of failure is President Trump you might not want to take that bet.

Blame the shitty system.

Napoleon

> The vote was said to be 3,011,007 in favor, and 1,562 against, which is completely ludicrous to claim that 99.5 per cent of Frenchmen had voted yes
>>
>>1866731
This look like something straight out of Courage the cowardly dog.
>>
>>1869008
Napoleon was so popular he literally turned the army sent to hunt him down with just a speech so I don't see why this would be ludicrous
>>
>>1869061
It was a bit earlier in his life and while he was already popular, the vote would have passed easily, he wasn't that popular.

Also in a period where voter turnouts were something like 10% in the French Republic, Napoleon rigged it to make it look like 100% of the voting population had turned out and voted for him, that is what is preposterous.
>>
>>1865499
The right rigs election by locking up a fuckton of innocent black men and denying them the right to vote: luckily that will soon change.
>>
>>1868892
Bernie would overlap with Hillary's voter base. It's extremely unlikely for all three of them to run without Trump winning.

They weren't fake live in denial. What they said was taken out of context in some cases though.

>>1865556
This is an example of an instance where political powers are trying to manipulate and change the outcome in an ""unnatural"" way (unorthodox methods). You can't prove that statement wrong.

These people are HIGH level leaders of their organizations that are directly associated with her campaign (proven through the leaks). These are the people she associates herself with, it just shows how rotten the whole Clinton tree is. It's a huge deal.

Liberia 1927.

D. B. King had more votes for him than the entire population of the fucking country.
>>
The argument that the election is rigged came up because in 2008 and 2012 there were entire districts where Romney and McCain got no votes.

However if you look at the districts where Romney and McCain got no votes,these are districts where mostly black people live.

Considering how beloved Obama is in the black community is it really that hard to believe that all the black people in those districts voted for him?

They are though. They're basically middle-managers or outside consultants. The fact that it is extremely easy for the Clinton campaign to distance themselves from their activities proves that O'Keefe doesn't have any smoking guns that would actually change people's minds about Clinton. Whether you like her or not the fact is that Clinton covers her tracks well-enough that she'll never be directly pinned down for anything.

Elections become rigged once you allow every mouth breather to vote. It turns into massive amounts of poor people eating the rich until everyone is poorer then before. We (US) should have kept it to 35 yr old white landowners.
