Actor Tim Robbins blames Sanders losses on ‘voter fraud’

Actor Tim Robbins is alleging the “election is being stolen” from Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

In a tweet Monday afternoon, the actor called out The New York Times and CNN, suggesting the media is tipping the scales in favor of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.

The tweet included a chart purporting to compare exit polls to the actual election results.

At least the Sanders campaign has enough dignity not to embrace this loony argument.

The Sanders campaign hasn't embraced that loony argument yet.

Give it a few days.

ever mentioned let alone discussed. Consequently, most people incorrectly employ the term "voter fraud".

How is any disenfranchised voters, "running out of ballots", and reducing polling places to the point where folks can't wait long enough to vote acceptable?

I am absolutely NOT the only person complaining about this. And if you want to know, I would also be complaining about it if it happened to Republicans.

Allow history to be your guide to what happens when the people are denied a fair say in who their leader will be.

And a sore loser

No, Tim, Hillary is liked by more Dems. Plain and simple. If you have to resort to the voter fraud card then your candidate has lost. Pathetic.
