7. That's it exactly. Voting machines were stolen too,

The Hill is reporting this morning.

Of course. And if their leaders stopped lying, cheating, and stealing now, most conservatives, who've come to realize that numerically, if not morally, "true Americans" are a minority, who believe their virtuous ends always justify the means, and who've been well trained to support absolutely anything their side does to win, would toss them out and replace them with ones who would.

The Hill:

Voting machines were reported stolen a day before Georgia’s special congressional election, according to a new report. The equipment was stolen last Saturday evening from a Cobb County precinct manager’s vehicle, Channel 2 Action News said Monday. He did not immediately report the theft. “It is unacceptable that the Cobb County Elections Office waited two days to notify my office of this theft,” Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said in a statement.

“We have opened an investigation, and we are taking steps to ensure that it has no effect on the election tomorrow. I am confident that the results will not be compromised.”
Action News said the four so-called ExpressPoll machines taken are computers poll workers use for checking-in voters and checking off those who cast ballots. Cobb County Elections Director Janine Eveler said information on the machines is “hard to access,” adding that they cannot be used to fraudulently vote in Tuesday’s election. Eveler said Cobb County will replace the devices at its Piedmont Road precinct before voters cast their ballots.
