What happened in Tennessee MAY have been the function of any number of things. That list is seemingly inexhaustible.

But if the search for answers is based on a premise (that the Republicans swept 4-5X their expected number of seats because they actually got the votes needed to do so) that is untestable and unverifiable (and may, in fact, be wrong), then it's all a fool's game.

The presence and persistence of the Rethug defense for indefensible voting systems is at the heart of what's happening in my home state now. And that's based on a decade of experience and long looks in the shifty eyes of the election thieves posing as reich-wing, holy-annointed patriots here (those with balls, and without).

Thanks for commenting, though. I was about to troll for more Tennesseans on the GD forum and you've helped me cast upon the waters twice now. Much appreciated.
