Not surprisingly, I expect 1 of these to be NY (with maybe 1 or 2 others to do so out of solidarity).

I don’t think **benbo1** has acknowledged that he was absolutely wrong. But without missing a beat he’s alleging [“obvious election fraud”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=672152) with [“120%” of eligible voters participating in some cities.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15692365#post15692365)
