Regardless of the outcome in a couple weeks, is there any chance in the WORLD that the losing party or its surrogates DON'T claim that it was stolen?
Based on the aftermath of virtually every important political race in the last dozen years or so, I would guarantee body parts that there will be claims of a stolen election. It wouldn't be American politics without it anymore.

(3,619 posts)and, all of sudden, this year we have voting machines. Never had them before, so I'm skeptical. I know there are counties in the northern part of the state that got voting machines for the first time also.
I when I read articles like this, my skepticism soars.

I was working the polls whenKerry and Gore..
Dirty tricks were played that night.
The Republicans WON that night in our location ~ the area was a very libral area. Everyone was in shock the next day when we read the News. All day long people were telling us how much they loved the Democrats..
and for sure --- the fix is well planned out for November.
Republicans have been busy while Democrats are thinking that they would never steal another election.
WRONG! WRONG!
