21. I agree...and
the problem with this crap is that the ones that pull it, or try to, know it has to be done very close to an election.
A. It's impossible to get the facts in order and put the puzzle together before the election.
B. After the election it is kind of slipped into the "crying over spilt milk" basket and either forgotten, or investigations of other things takes precedent.

These campaigns know it.

During the 2000 coup here in Florida there were some people that were purged from the voter rolls. They simply had a common name with some other convicted felon. When they cried foul, they were told to take it up with their local Sup. of Elections. Alot of good that would do at 6:30 pm on election night? See how they work it?

When I voted last time in a GE I paid attention to the little counter on the side of the machine. Slid my paper in, read "Thank you for voting"... "you vote was cast" (whatever the screen says)-looked down and the counter had not moved. Perhaps the machine only moves on votes in increments of 10 or 5 whatever, but there was noone there to ask. There were some poll workers scratching names and handing out ballots but I knew as much about the machine as they did.

That being said, I have no idea that there was skullduggery in the WVWV situation. Too early to tell.
I won't pass judgement this soon, but if it is Hillary's campaign and staff, it damn sure wouldn't surprise me.
