U.S. attorney-general tells prosecutors that ‘fanciful or far-fetched claims’ should not be a basis for investigation

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.U.S. Attorney-General William Barr told federal prosecutors on Monday to look into “substantial” allegations of irregularities in last week’s election, prompting the top lawyer overseeing voter fraud investigations to resign in protest.

But he did say he was authorizing prosecutors to “pursue substantial allegations” of irregularities of voting and the counting of ballots. It alleged the state’s mail-in voting system violated the U.S. Constitution by creating “an illegal two-tiered voting system” where voting in person was subject to more oversight than voting by mail.It was filed against Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and the boards of elections in Democratic-leaning counties that include Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Boockvar’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler, a Republican, has said the state’s governor certifies the election results and the legislature plays no formal role.

They are all using taxpayors money while they can to get funds before they are inemployed idiots of the state.

Hopefully one of the first casualties.

Puleeeze! These highly accredited, highly paid people can't do simple math! Even if there is a .5 - 3% irregularity discrepancy detected/determined; even if trump gets all outstanding college votes, HE CAN'T WIN!!! HE'S DONE!!!

World democracy is at stake. If U.S. election can not be fair, honest and transparent - what will happen to the free world? This is the fight of this generation. This is beyond who actually is elected. People can not be allowed to rig a system to elect who they like.

What irregularities? Crickets!
