12. If I can also point out the case of Alvin Green.

"In 25 precincts, Greene received more votes than were actually cast; and while Rawl won absentee ballots by a whopping 84-to-16 percentage point margin, the election-day results showed Greene winning by 18 percentage points".

Of course this was a Democratic primary so no doubt some thoughtful person will ask me if I'm accusing Democrats of election fraud or even Alvin Green himself. That's not what I'm doing here but let's roll with that idea for a minute.

If Alvin Green is capable of engineering a statewide theft through unverifiable voting machines I'm pretty sure the Republicans could pull it off as well. At that point we have to believe the Republican election officials and activists are such honorable people that they would *never* dream of stealing an election through fraud. Anybody else comfortable with that idea?

It's really too late to repair the integrity of our election system before November but it's not too late for an outside exit poll analysis such as the one in Ukraine cited in your OP.
