It simply defies logic that there wasn't widespread institutional cheating yesterday.

In Georgia, there can be no question there was cheating. There was voter suppression by the GOP candidate who, with a MASSIVE conflict of interest, was also the referee.

In Florida, it defies logic that a measure to give the vote back to released felons passed while the GOP guys beat the polls to come out on top (so far). This is not a one-off. It is a fucking PATTERN. Gore. Trump. Now this. And always by juuuuust enough. Fuck that. I call bullshit.

Yeah, I know. Texas is Texas. The election followed the polls that showed Cruz ahead. And even Republicans hate Cruz.





Can the new DEMOCRATIC House investigate vote cheating?

If cheating is allowed to stand and win, it's tacit approval and acquiescence that its perfectly ok, as long as you get away w it. GA and FLA need to have a knot jerked into their tails. It's not the American Way. Matter of fact it's SO unamerican as to be shamefully aggravating.

I would love an audit to show monkeying with the reported totals.

They only succeed where the races are very close and they can flip a precinct or two here and there.
