By gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 the way that they did the Supreme Court basically gave the states the power to create mischief, which is why that law existed in the first place. That is why it’s necessary not to win but to win bigly. ---

Reports of [voting machine errors](http://www.vocativ.com/370874/vote-switching-machines/) in early voting in Texas. Voters select the “All Rs” button, review their ballot and see Clinton/Kaine highlighted. Which, to me, is their own damn fault. A single button for “All Rs” or “All Ds” is just chickenshit. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Nonetheless, the Riggists will latch onto this like a hammerhead with a leg and worry it into sea-snow. The thing is, it does not matter what happens; The Trumpelinas have already been convinced that busses full of illegals are being moved across the country, voting as they go, rigging the election. Facts simply do not have a place for these people. Facts are completely irrelevant. Facts simply get in the way of their worldview, so they are discarded like empty hot pocket sleeves into the dumpster beside the double wide. Hillary Clinton will be president. And no matter what she does, NO MATTER WHAT, in the next 4 years, these people will know… They will KNOW, with absolute certainty, that she has done terrible, terrible things. It does not matter what she actually does - that, again, is completely irrelevant to their feelings. ---
