at every level of the election procedure, and especially the vote count.
8 precincts have MISSING votes? Really?
So....what are the chances that anyone in the GOP will call for a forensic investigation? I'd have to say ZERO, because anyone involved in the hierarchy knows it is their common practice in their party to control the outcome of the count and do it at every level of the process. No way will Iowa be examined more closely because the party's ugly inner workings might get more sunlight shining on them than they can handle. Not to mention the fact that corporate media has refused to show any interest in examining GOP election fraud.

Santorum finished 34 votes ahead of Romney in new Iowa tally; votes from 8 precincts missing.
Republican front-runner Mitt Romneys narrow lead in the Iowa caucuses disappeared when officials certified the vote count, a Republican involved in the process said Thursday, but former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum cannot be declared the winner because of irregularities in some precincts.
Instead of leading by eight votes, Romney ended up trailing former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum by 34 votes--29,839 to 29,805, the Republican said. The reversal was first reported by the Des Moines Register, which said results from eight Iowa precincts are missing and will never be recovered and certified,.

(113,052 posts)but, it really seems that Dems are passing on a HUGE opportunity to make election integrity the key issue, especially with all the bogus 'voter fraud' laws that GOP governors are pushing through to distract from their rampant election fraud.

I'll just post what I have, so far. I think we'll have to have the process get a bit more along to see where many of the fault lines are, but there have already been some actions, like the Justice rejection of SC's voting process and the Democrats have set up several things to challenge practices and protect voters . . .
