courts with right wing operatives, HAVA, Florida 2000, OH 2004, Citizens United, the gutting
of the voting rights act, Fox News, Hate Talk radio, the pandering to the worst of the rural-type

However In the end I really don't think the race was that close @ all because someday
we will all see just how bad the voting machines and central tabulators had been hacked.

Happened to be watching Bloomberg when they did a Interview piece with this Turkey,and it boiled down to CBS/Viacom's Profits from the Trump Political face time.
