ShrubCo use that as an excuse to invalidate the elections so they can hold onto their majority? Bothers me that everyone is finally reporting on this, electronic voting machine code is being sent to people and so forth.

Won't they at least use voting machine fraud as a claim that 'conservatism' hasn't failed as much as communism did?

1. I hate to admit it, but I thought the same thing yesterday.
All of a sudden there's an outpouring of concern; lots of attention from the MSM. I was wondering what will happen if Dems win big - will Repugs start screaming foul and try to invalidate results? It all seems a bit odd to have the issue erupt a few weeks before the election - problems have been there for years.

2. Yep, I'm willing to bet on it
the Repugs know they can't win so they want to plant enough doubt in people minds that no one will believe the results.

I also expect they will contest every race that they can.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Roger Stone's goons staging riots and other stunts if the the Repugs don't get their way.

4. If they recount and count the paper, I don't care who asks for it.
I want recounts and audits, and I don't care who wins the election. I'm in favor of paper ballot recounts if the Repubs OR the Dems win the machine count.

I hope the Repubs go for it and demand recounts. The Dems didn't have the courage to demand it.

The machines are rigged and most if not all of the vendors IMO are criminals. The machines are not made to count votes but steal elections.
