And if you look into the details behind it, it was consolidated with another precinct and based on the data for that one, it's quite possible they were accidentally just counted in the wrong precinct.

He should question it. It's an open door to all sorts of fraud and nobody can deny it no matter how much they may benefit from it. Even if you won't admit that there's still the problem with everyone else believing it and losing faith in the electoral process. Even the most feeble minds can't deny that's a step in the wrong direction.
After I posted this thread, I realized a poll on this could be useful. I posted the above thread w/ poll in P&OC. Please vote in the poll if interested.
One wonders why this story died fairly quickly in the MSM, as the Speaker of the House making such a comment normally would be worthy of some investigate journalism.

But you're right--not much from the NYT, WAPO, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.
All voter fraud, harvesting, or election shenanigans should be stopped and those who engage in it punished sternly.
That goes for either side of the political spectrum.
He should spend some time investigating all the voter suppression efforts that have been undertaken in his home state of Wisconsin.

The notion of voter suppression has been bastardized to the point of no one having the same definition, thus it loses it's significance.
To liberals, following the rules (i.e. getting a voters registration on time, providing ID, voting on a particular day, etc.) is all "voter suppression".
Needless to say that is not suppression, rather trying to insure no voter fraud occurs.
This new thing in CA regarding ballot harvesting is very disturbing, not because it likely will be done to increase Democrat votes, but it is ripe for abuse by anyone, and is not even allowed in 3rd world countries and/or banana republics.
