Rigging Elections



I think Karl Rove can, and has, rigged elections.

So why didn't he rig the Congressional midterms, with subpoena power on the line?

Too many moving parts.

Logistically, to steal a presidential election, you have to steal a state or two. With friends in high places, this can be done without having too many people in the know about the felony in progress.

However, to steal hundreds of elections, where the results are reported to localities rather than states, would require an army of henchmen. Someone would squeal or slip up. Add the $250,000 reward for information leading to a felony conviction for vote-rigging, and secrecy becomes impossible.

The midterm results do not mean that fears of rigged voting machines are groundless. The crooked machines have got to go.
