(2,667 posts)Here is what scares me more than anything else about the coming election. There is at least 1 man who has pledged he will spend $100,000,000 on the election. We presume he means to spend that money legally, but if even 10% of it is diverted to buy off the man or woman who counts the votes in just two or three key counties around the country it could throw the election. Take Cuyahoga County, OH for an example. Take a ranking poll worker who's underwater on his house and has a kid in college and no idea where next semester's tuition is going to come from - let alone books, and someone waving a million bucks under his nose is going to be mighty tempting. I do not suggest it will happen, but with a Billion dollars going into an election you can absolutely bet the farm that all if it will not be legally spent.
