OK, THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE INTERESTING

by Bob Walsh


Yesterday evening (assuming the talking heads got it right) the Nevada Republican Committee made a "referral" to the feds with more than 3,600 specified, reasonably well documented cases of outright voter fraud.  (I think the word "referral" is incorrect in this use.  I THINK that only government entities can make honest to god referrals for prosecution.)

The complaint asserts that the named people, or persons pretending to be them, actually voted in Nevada even though they had moved or were otherwise not eligible to vote.  This information is supposed to have been taken from legitimate public access data sources.  Please note we are not talking about "they were mailed ballots."  We are talking about actual votes made.  

Now I grant you that 3,600 isn't exactly a gazillion.  It MAY, however, be enough to convince a judge or the A.G. that there is at least the APPEARANCE of significant irregularities, and very possibly out-right voter fraud, taking place in Nevada.  It isn't chump change.  It appears to be real.  If it pans out it will only further inflame Donald Trump and the hard-core Trumpists who really and sincerely believe he is the target of a serious fraud attempt.

When you combine this with the (recorded) bizarre actions of the vote count staff people in Pennsylvania, who CHEERED when the Republican poll watchers were kicked out of the vote count center (in violation of federal law and a local court order), you can't help but wonder if maybe Trump is right and "the system" is out to fuck him over yet again.   

It is hard to describe this as a visit from the fuck-up fairy.  Even the fuck-up fairy will not give you this level of FUBAR by accident.  

This stinks people.
