1. Bain Capital outsourced Nevada GOP vote counting to Bangladesh
2. Radio Shack TRS80 computer used to tabulate votes broke down

6. Sharron Angle insisted on seeing GOP chairwoman Amy Tarkanian's birth certificate
7. Sheldon Adelson's special private caucus could not find enough Republican Jewish voters
8. Media spies everywhere - took time to intimidate and evict them
