Could???

Boston Globe headline today--"Voting Glitches Could Put Races into Overtime."

Bet every dime you have, buddy. More DOJ officials than ever in our history at polling sites to clamp down on voter fraud. To stop voter machine hacking? Sure, like they could. No, to challenge anyone who gets a protest, and whose pre-election manuals are telling party zealots to get to polls and challenge every voter? Hmm. Of course, when your own state's Secretary of State has
trouble voting because poll officials are disobeying the law, surely you'll have no trouble. Although, with the wide expectation of voting errors and fraud already part of the media narrative, then the challenges to elections that each house of Congress will get to decide (and coincidentally decide Repubs "win" every time) will have even more legitimacy and be harder to contest.

Have fun tomorrow.

[PS--I will so glad to eat every word I've said on this topic, come Wednesday morning. No one's looking more forward to that than me.]
