(27,649 posts)In short, do I think Republican operatives would rig the voting if they could develop a plan that had a) a good chance of success and b) little chance of being exposed. However, the scenario described by the self-proclaimed Anonymous spokesman fails that test. Therefore, I conclude it's probably B.S.
There are many plausible theories about the JFK assassination -- whether he was killed by the Mafia, CIA, Castro, etc. But, if someone were to assert that he was killed by Martians acting under the direction of the British royal family, who poisoned his cornflakes at breakfast that morning, such an assertion would be rightfully laughed-off...as would be anyone who claimed that he or she was convinced of its truth simply because "authoritarians" thought it ridiculous and, furthermore, went on to imply that those who found it ridiculous we're doing so because they had some sort of vested interest in the truth being suppressed. I fail to see much of a difference in this case.
