Will the Republican party attempt to rig the election?

[inflatable jesus]

It's not a particularly grand conspiracy, it's a rather miserable one, though quite widespread. It's also been pretty well detailed with hard evidence; it's just generally ignored or thrown in with the loon stuff.

I do think that Obama will win anyway mind you.

If you mean the attempts to dismess voters on technicalities, sure, it's something that's there. However, it's not really a particularly effective form of election rigging and it's something that I think we can feel pretty sure the Democrats are fairly well on top of. It seems like they were pretty quick to respond in Ohio when the ACORN thing kicked off. From what I've seen, I really don't think any Democrats will be likely to be caught out like they were in 2000.

I think that to raise it to the level of vote rigging you have to end up throwing in some of the loony stuff. Otherwise it's just the standard election shenanigans.

Maybe I'm wrong. Is there something compelling that I'm missing?

Yes.

 

[inflatable jesus]

Yes.

Isn't that just what I mentioned but with a conspiracy-esque spin?

Maybe we should see how incredible this vote-theft is tomorrow?

Did you actually read it?

And ffs! Greg Palast is no conspiracy theorist.

The Bushbots were too busy rigging the Liverpool game tonight to get the election rigged as well.

He *is* the far right.

Okay, whatever you say. After all, you are "He-who-must-be-obeyed".
