I thought everything was local ,started at the grass roots. Why was there ruckus about 2000 election judges getting robocalls? Doesn't the inquires about irregularities began in the polling places on election day. Can you honestly say the media, police, the courts and the states are on top of this? Where did I say that we should blame only the poll workers for all our problems? If you inferred that, kindly re-check your inference. Asking where are the poll workers doesn't even come close to saying everybody else is totally irrelevant. Prodding the big fish with poll workers eye witness testimony may help.
