of Musk's. He not only admitted to it, he explained how he did it... tho I couldn't explain it in a million years. Tech got away from me sometime back in the early 2000's. Heck, I went into a grocery store bathroom today and couldn't figure out how to turn the water on in the sink! Yes, I'm old and getting older, but there are just some things you shake your head at and say, "Damn! This shouldn't be this hard and I shouldn't be this stupid!" (LOL)

Seriously, for all the rage screaming on the right, I do so believe there was lots and various hanky panky on the cheat side for them. After all, in nearly all things republican whatever they claim WE do, we catch them over and over again doing it themselves, instead of us. Of course, there ARE areas of the country that are true blue red, just as there are others that are true blue blue... but others... well, let's just say I'm leary of those who rage shout about them.
