Has anyone added up the total known election violations?
I think it would be an effective PR tool to throw around. To tell people there were 10,000 violations or something like that.

I think part of our problem is not having one single document that lists EVERYTHING that went wrong. The way we are now, is fragmented. And people can label it isolated.

I would love to have access to a cogent, complete list of everything, along with a total of the problems. I am new to DU - Maybe there is a method to accumulate a running document?

15. 57,000 according to statement on GAO investigation


Reps. John Conyers, Jr., Jerrold Nadler, Robert Wexler, Robert Scott, and Rush Holt, cosignatories of the original letters, issued a statement saying they were pleased the nonpartisan agency was getting involved.
.....

“As part of this inquiry, we will provide copies of specific incident reports received in our offices, including more than 57,000 such complaints provided to the House Judiciary Committee,” they said.

13. I'd add them up, but I've only got......
....one of those calculators from Florida.
Once it hit 32000 it started counting down again.
