4. It's not just votes themselves being manipulated

Dade and Broward counties in Florida combined have 4.6 million people. Trump "won" Florida by 113,000 votes.

Imagine you stand in line for hours to vote only to find out you have been "purged" from the voter rolls. How many people will have the patience to stay there and fill out a provisional ballot? Maybe half? 1/3? 1/4? Fewer than that even?

Imagine those were the two counties and remember that Clinton won them by almost 600,000 votes out of about 1.8 million votes in total. Imagine if thousands of voters were purged from the rolls?
