Is there a reason Fiorina is "hot pink" other than being a woman? Therequiembellishere (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Addressing Groundless Claims About Fraud edit

I added a paragraph to the voting irregularities section showing that several investigations by the state government of New Hampshire found no widespread evidence of fraud (specifically, the false allegations of people being bussed in from Massachusetts and elsewhere). Only 4 instances of fraud total were found - and they were due to honest mistakes, not a conspiracy to throw the state to Clinton and the Dems.

While I think that it is important to note that such baseless claims have been made by President Trump and that this should be kept in the article, I do wonder if this section seems to give too much merit to these allegations considering their groundlessness. For example, citing the fact that a state politician announced that 6,500 people used out of state licenses to vote - when this is actually, as the paragraph later notes, perfectly legal there - seems to implicitly endorse the suspicions of foul play. Part of me wonders if that part should just be deleted altogether, although I am open to further discussion on the matter. Either way, hopefully some clarity has been added now.Concchambers (talk) 09:15, 3 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
