In another thread I set it out in more detail. Voter suppression in Florida, North Carolina (with surgical precision), Ohio and Wisconsin was sufficient to skew the electoral college. Papers will be written on it. On Election Day, there were 868 fewer polling places in states with a long history of voting discrimination, like Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina. These changes impacted hundreds of thousands of voters, yet received almost no coverage. In North Carolina, as my colleague Joan Walsh reported, black turnout decreased 16 percent during the first week of early voting because “in 40 heavily black counties, there were 158 fewer early polling places.” - The Nation.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Trump wants Top Secret clearances for his spawn, because he thinks it's like handing out backstage passes...

What are the chances Trump will get a free pass on the blind trust thing...?
It looks like he's gonna get a free pass on his tax returns...

I am expecting scandalous headlines in the next 30 days about "missing" votes found in Florida and North Carolina.

How about blocking over 3 MILLION legitimate voters with Voter ID schemes, just to start...??
