I gave up and watched the video. I don't know if there's fraud, but something seems fishy. If it's not fraud, it certainly has the smell, and at the very least the government should be interested in a transparent investigation to restore faith.

Reads like a fair & unbiased article. kappa

This is just another cynical game of "pin the tale on the donkey". The current administration hopes, once again, to blindfold the American public, spin us around in circles, and get us to stick it to a leading opposition candidate.

I'm not saying there's no fraud in Minnesota.

I'm saying this tale is a developing political story in which all the forces of the party in power are aligning to attack the image of the man they have identified as a not-so-far-future threat.

In this episode, there's no need to make a "perfect phone call" to a distant foreign leader to ask for a little favor.

Deploy the influencer troops; get the once-legitimate agencies to blow some smoke under the color of authority. Invite the public to join in, incite outrage with a tale that swipes at the face of the whole state. Bang the same drum as always, outrage over peon cheaters, stoke fury at lower class fraud.

But make sure to stick that pin in the governor.

Make that ass bray, just in case we let the peons vote some day.
