Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Trump Says Election May Be “Rigged;” His Confidant Warns of “Bloodbath” If Clinton Wins

HeadlineAug 03, 2016

Donald Trump has continued to suggest he believes the November election may be “rigged.” Pointing to recent court decisions against restrictive voter ID laws in North Carolina and Wisconsin, Trump said Tuesday that the decisions increased the possibility of voter fraud. Trump said, “The voter ID situation has turned out to be a very unfair development. We may have people vote 10 times.” Studies of voter fraud in the U.S. have concluded the type of fraud Trump warned about is extremely rare. This comes after Republican political operative and Trump supporter Roger Stone warned of a “bloodbath” if Trump doesn’t win in November. Speaking with Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos, Stone said, “We will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government. It will be a bloodbath.”
