(53,475 posts)... but I don't know that it was not, either. Clearly the Republicans engaged in a multitude of dirty tricks. Somehow I find it unlikely that they stopped just shy of election rigging. That would be so unlike them.
The election needs to be certified, somehow. I have little faith that electronic scanners accurately tally ballots, and less in the touchscreen units, and even less in the corporations who manufacture and promote them to our municipal clerks.
Let's count the paper ballots and see. If things match up, fine. But to ignore a possible rigging is unfathomable. We need to redouble our efforts, including that this and future elections are honestly run.
