In reply to the discussion: Would Donald Trump really be that easy to beat? [View all]KansDem
(28,498 posts)27. Have we forgotten the Ohio recount?
And the Homeland Security warning that never was?
The reports were especially disturbing in Ohio, the critical battleground state that clinched Bush's victory in the electoral college. Officials there purged tens of thousands of eligible voters from the rolls, neglected to process registration cards generated by Democratic voter drives, shortchanged Democratic precincts when they allocated voting machines and illegally derailed a recount that could have given Kerry the presidency. A precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County recorded an impossibly high turnout of ninety-eight percent, while a polling place in inner-city Cleveland recorded an equally impossible turnout of only seven percent. In Warren County, GOP election officials even invented a nonexistent terrorist threat to bar the media from monitoring the official vote count.(11)

Homeland Security: "No, we didn't."

if he did get the nod, would the establishment GOP go along, or abandon him like Goldwater?
