Donald trump says hes afraid the election is going to be rigged. And he claims voter fraud lets people vote 10 times. Here is the nominee at a rally in green bay, wisconsin. Mr. Trump you have to win this election. We have to win it. Have to win. Movement wasr big not as big as we thought. That is not good. That is why november 8, youve got to get everybody you know.

Dont even know where to start answering this question. Of course the elections will not be rigged. What is that mean . The federal government doesnt run the election process. States and cities and communities all across the country, they are the ones who set up the voting systems and voting booths. If mr.

A few words about the genesis of this panel, the idea behind it and some of the issues i hope we are going to be able to address. So this year, 2015, marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most important congressional committees certainly of the 1970s. And i think arguably of the latter half of the 20th century and that was the Church Committee. The Church Committee which was chaired by frank church began its work in the spring of 1975. And for the 16 months between the spring of 1975 and when they delivered a 14 volumes report in 1976 the Church Committee held hearings, performed investigations dug into Background Materials on the american Intelligence Services. And this was really the first mass scale investigation of what had been going on in american intelligence practices in the past 30 years, but arguably back even further than that.
