Ridiculously miniscule

The election "rigging" is not going well.

Louisiana’s chief election officer, Secretary of State Tom Schedler, says voters don’t have to worry about a “rigged election,” and charges his party’s presidential standard bearer, Donald Trump, with “overplaying the fraud card.”

Trump repeatedly has warned of rampant voter fraud that could throw the Nov. 8 election to Hillary Clinton.

“I’m telling you, November 8 (Election Day), we better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged. And I hope the Republicans are watching closely, or it is going to be taken away from us,” Trump warned as early as August and has been focusing on that warning in the last week.

Schedler disagrees that voters need to be watching out for fraud when they vote.

“For (every) 10 complaints, we maybe get one thing of some substance, and usually it is something ridiculously minuscule,” Schedler said.

Allegations of voter intimidation there are serious enough to get the FBI's attention.

Heh... all of this crap may be backfiring on the GOP

More racial stuff in Maryland

This flier being passed around titled Ehrlich-Steele Democrats features the photos of three prominent Democrats who have not endorsed either of the Republicans named in the title... but they are black so that makes perfect sense. The reverse side of the flier contains a list of election reccomendations.. all vitrually unopposed Democrats with the exception of Robert Ehrlich and Michael Steele who, of course, are Republicans in very tight races. This Maryland race is the most racially confused thing since the New Orleans mayoral election. And if we learned anything from that experience it is this stuff works.

And they're off

The voting machines, that is.

Question: How many recounts/disputes will we be watching for the next month?
