Trump supporter caught on video openly discussing plans to suppress votes for Hillary Clinton.

Trump supporter Jesse Benton.
Courtesy of the Telegraph: 

Supporters of Donald Trump are engaging in a "voter suppression" strategy under which pro-Clinton "African Americans and suburban mums" are being persuaded not to vote, a campaigner told undercover Telegraph reporters. 

A senior figure involved in funding efforts to support the billionaire’s campaign against Hillary Clinton boasted of how activists had adopted a scheme to “try to drop her turn-out two or three points” in key areas of the country. 

Jesse Benton, who described himself as a “consultant” to the Great America PAC, said the strategy involved “trying to take their taste for her away."

The disclosure appears to confirm suspicions that pro-Trump campaigners have been deliberately focusing on dissuading groups of Clinton supporters from voting.

By the way this is not an exaggeration by the reporters at the Telegraph, they literally have this Benton guy saying the words "voter suppression."

Nor is he the only Trump supporter planning this kind of thing.

Courtesy of HuffPo:

Vote Protectors, the anti-voter-fraud group hosted by Donald Trump ally and political dirty trickster Roger Stone, plans to send volunteers to monitor polling places in nine cities with high minority populations on Election Day, Stone said last week. Untrained poll-watchers have intimidated voters in previous elections. But Vote Protectors is going further than its predecessors. 

Stone’s group created an official-looking ID badge for its volunteers to wear, and its volunteers planned to videotape voters and conduct fake “exit polls,” efforts that election experts say risks intimidating and confusing voters. Or at least that’s what the group was planning to do before The Huffington Post asked Stone about it on Tuesday. The controversial Trump ally, long known for his bare-knuckled political tactics, said that key proposals on his group’s websites were there without his knowledge, and assured HuffPost that he would operate within the confines of election law. 

Stone had initially refused to explain just how Vote Protectors planned to accomplish its goals. 

I think is called "rigging the election" which is exactly what Donald Trump has accused Hillary Clinton and the media of doing. 

Projection baby, it's all about projection.

    Maybe just me, but what satisfaction do you get in winning when you know that you cheated?

      It has nothing to do with satisfaction and everything to do with power.

      Narcissists and sociopaths don't care that they win by cheating, they just need to win. Second, they will just deny that they cheated. It's called gaslighting, a classic narcissist/sociopath tactic.

    3. It's only cheating if you get caught. Game on, I guess. Disgusting.

      But they are getting, and will get caught, we gotta believe... How dumb can you be to explain your voter suppression game? Dumb enough to vote for Trump, or against Hillary, or as Trae says, "with their middle finger."

    You know, the RNC and all major Republican leaders (?) have a duty right now to set the record straight. They know that the Democrats will not try to "rig" this election; they know that there is no reason for anyone to fear revolution if Trump loses. It's their candidate who has fomented so much fear and hatred among his supporters and the GOP has let it happen. The future is up to them. Are there no Republicans who are willing to stand up to this absolute nonsense and speak truth to the Trump supporters? Are all Republicans cowards? if so, that is what happens when a political party refuses to lead. It cowers. Imagine cowering because of a nincompoop like Donald Trump!

    1. Exactly. The GOP "elites" own this. What are they so afraid of? Admitting they were wrong? Whatever they do it is too little, too late, IMO.

  5. Now Democrats are suing the Republicans.

    The Democratic National Committee is suing the Republican National Committee for aiding GOP nominee Donald Trump as he argues that the presidential election is “rigged,” claiming that Trump’s argument is designed to suppress the vote in minority communities.

    The suit, filed Wednesday in US District Court in New Jersey, argues that the RNC has not sufficiently rebuked Trump for the line of attack, which he has used as a rallying cry and is assumed to be a way to explain away a potential loss on Election Day.

    The Democrats argue in the filing that “Trump has falsely and repeatedly told his supporters that the November 8 election will be ‘rigged’ based upon fabricated claims of voter fraud in ‘certain areas’ or ‘certain sections’ of key states.”

      In particular, we do not endorse Hillary Clinton’s exemplary leadership during her 30 years in the public eye. We do not support her impressive commitment to serving and improving this country—a commitment to which she has dedicated her entire professional career. Because of unambiguous tax law, we do not encourage you to support the most qualified presidential candidate in modern American history, nor do we encourage all citizens to shatter the glass ceiling once and for all by electing Secretary Clinton on November 8.

    I was told that Steve Schmidt explained last week that Trump is mentioning cities for his supporters to go watch voters because the cities have a high black population Trump needs and wants to win. Schmidt saw through the words telling Trump supporters that THEY are going to steal the election from them.

    In reality Trump has been manipulating his supporters that his opponent and everyone else is rigging the election and planning to take things away from them including their money when he lies Clinton wants to raise their taxes.

    This is projection yet has a pyschopath escalation of planning, thinking and doing while lying it is someone else while lying to deceive people to commit acts without them aware they are serving a diabolical persons ends using them as their means.

    As someone mentioned above tactical gaslighting comes into play.

      As she mentioned in the report, Trump couldn't care less if he destroys the party. I read last week that one of the authors who had written a book about Trump said he is simply incapable of caring about anyone else besides himself.

      Having grown up just outside of NYC, I have seen and heard about Trump my entire life. I was aware that he was extraordinarily narcissistic and misogynistic, and would destroy anyone who stood in his way. However, even I didn't realize how disturbed and truly evil he was until witnessing him in this election process.

    “We have three major voter suppression operations under way,” says a senior official. They’re aimed at three groups Clinton needs to win overwhelmingly: idealistic white liberals, young women, and African Americans.“We have three major voter suppression operations under way,” says a senior official.

    After you get off your high horse, don't forget how the Clinton campaign tried to suppress votes in the primary.

    Just because Trump is WAY worse doesn't make her somehow "good."

    It doesn't work like that.

    Trump Has Gotten The Republican Party Sued For Trying To Intimidate Voters

    Trump's claims that the election is rigged and that his supporters need to go to the polls to intimidate voters have landed the Republican Party in court as the DNC has filed a lawsuit.

    In fact, after HuffPo confronted Stone with evidence that these kinds of tactics were being pursued by the website, he acknowledged that Vote Protectors had a “bad idea” and “ordered them taken down.”

    Campaign Legal Center deputy director Danielle Lang called the tactics a clear voter intimidation scheme.

    “It’s inherently intimidating and an invasion of privacy,” she told HuffPo in reference to the videotaping. “When that’s being live streamed to the internet, it amplifies the potentially intimidating aspect of it, and violates a sense of security and privacy people have a right to enjoy at the polls. Objectively, intimidating voters is unlawful, no matter where you do it.”

    Indeed, but that’s exactly what Donald Trump has been calling upon his supporters to do because he has repeatedly claimed that the election is rigged against him.

    As it turns out, he’s right about the election being rigged, only it’s conservatives who are trying to rig it in favor of Trump.

    “We have three major voter suppression operations under way”

    ...To compensate for this, Trump’s campaign has devised another strategy, which, not surprisingly, is negative. Instead of expanding the electorate, Bannon and his team are trying to shrink it. “We have three major voter suppression operations under way,” says a senior official. They’re aimed at three groups Clinton needs to win overwhelmingly: idealistic white liberals, young women, and African Americans.

    Stone has tried to erase his link to Vote Protectors but HuffPo and others are still on to him.

    Vote Protectors latest is providing a "script" for their poll watchers so they can video people and ask them leading questions about voter fraud.

    I'm sure James O'Keefe is standing by ready to edit it into some piece of shit hit piece.

    You know all of the Trumpsters believe ever piece of crap O'Keefe puts out but they'll swear that the telegraph edited this to make Trump look bad.
