Every General Election, Republicans engage in election fraud. Many of our states are governed by Republicans. They engage in the "strip and flip" method. First, they engage in "alerting" or matching a name to someone in jail (at least in FL), etc, and they remove the name from the registered list. This primarily effects persons of color or Hispanic decent. The flip comes when a person votes. Votes are NOT tabulated 1 to 1 vote, but rather with a % weight given to the voting tabulation. (I truly believe this is how we had Rick Scott elected two times by a margin of 0.5% and how medical marijuana lost by 2%).

Every two years, the reports our of FL, are in regards to minority voting problems in the Miami/ South FL area. At that point, one has to realize that the majority of south FL is actually minority persons. So, they are always getting fucked with. Remember in 2008 and 2012 seeing those 6 hr long lines to vote in FL, well, those lines were mostly in South FL. (this is another way to disenfranchise voters, by limiting voting locations).

It was accepted knowledge since 2000 and 2004 when the Democrats had the election stolen from their candidates by BushCo. Al Gore won the vote in FL. John Kerry won Oh. It is important that we have election integrity, and we absolutely DO NOT. Some of these machines are 20yrs old, have no paper trail, and can be hacked by a 6yr old. We are rated last in voting integrity in the Western democratic countries. Jimmy Carter refuses to monitor our elections because they are rife with fraud.

AND did you know that in both 2008 and 2012, the Obama campaign literally had people monitoring the "strip" on their registered voters so they could get them re-registered before the GE?

Please, take this seriously. Elections are important, especially at the local level when a couple of votes could literally make the difference. We absolutely need to be able to trust our elections. I can't understand how they aren't handled Federally and left up to each state and precinct to run elections in whatever haphazard manner they choose. AND yes, exit polls should be within the margin of error with the actual "computer" totals.

We are in GE mode, get your heads out of the primaries, and make sure the Republicans aren't stealing this one away, or stealing it at the state levels for congress and senate and Govs. Local levels. I'm not so sure the Republicans care to prop up Trump for the White House, but you bet your bippy, they sure as hell want to control congress.
