2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt is not news that Republicans in charge of elections are prone to pulling tricks
Katherine Harris, Ken Blackwell, Kathy Nicklaus are all Republicans who have been party to some suspect behavior as far as elections go. The worst possible position that a Republican can be elected to is one that supervises elections, be it at the state or county level.
What happened in Arizona is nothing new, it is just from the same old bag of Republican tricks. Let's remember who the real enemy is here when it comes to potential election fraud.
And on a side note, in the county that I live in there was only one person that was convicted of fraud related to an election and that person was a Republican who voted twice by using his deceased father's absentee ballot. Again, remember who the real enemy is.
