16. That's why we have such strict policies in place

because the assholes in this country have tried it forever, from stuffing ballot boxes to simply having them go missing into a mop closet (which they did here in NM before we changed the system in 2005). As long as boxes are sealed, the seals haven't been broken, and the chain of custody is strictly maintained, the cheaters are going to have their work cut out for them. My guess is that they'll take the Jim Crow route, having gangs of armed thugs standing around polling places. I also think law enforcement is going to get sick of clearing them out and is going to stop being gentle with dumb white guys.

However, if TFG is able to diddle the EC again, it will be our last election of any kind.
