I cannot, but there are many Trump supporters here that understand the rigging mechanisms very well. They will explain it all to us I am sure. In any case, they need to start practicing the "truthful hyperbole" as Donald describes it, in preparation for Trump's defeat.

Pence must be such a disappoint to Trump, did you read this yet? Doesn't he know about all the rigging?

Methinks Pence and Trump are close to going their separate ways. If a resistance forms after Donald loses, Mike's political future is bleak.

I suppose that trump will next say that early voting at the elections offices is also rigged, right? After all, the elections person, depending on where you live, will be either an elected official or appointed by an elected official. And, we know that the whole system is rigged against donald specifically.

I am scheduled, as a volunteer, to do a lot of driving of poor and elderly people to the voting office in our county, and a lot of them are doing it early this time because they are afraid of what might happen on election day. They are also not mailing in their ballots because they are afraid that the mailed-in ballots will be tossed out.

I don't agree with Pence's social objectives and I think he let his political ambition override his good sense when he accepted the VP slot...but I give him credit in big way for telling that female a Trump supporter to stop spouting her trash about being cheated out of the election at a speech last week...
And I think he really didn't know what slime Trump was under the Brioni Polish...
He likely never watched The Apprentice and certainly never listened to Howard Stern...
Rude awakening thinking your business partner is Dr. Jekyl and realizing he is really Mr. Hyde

I have to wonder if Pence is a wee bit sorry that he hitched his wagon to Trump. I realize that he has his own agenda for 2020, but this connection to Trump cannot be a plus for him other than the exposure. How could this not come back and bite Pence on the butt down the road? I suppose he thought it was worth the gamble or else who the hell would even know this guy's name. I wonder which rock sell-out Ted Cruz is hiding under these days...LOL

My sister in law was an election official for decades in Victoria County Tx. She is in her 80s now and bowed out of the job this past year...she said that for years democratic and republican officials worked together w/o any problems but starting when Bush won over Gore, the Republicans are very conservative tea-party and just really pushy obnoxious...

At the last bi-election there was a woman standing in line intimidating other voters by talking out loud about Republicans and Democrats...her husband was running for a city or council position...My sister in law couldn't remember which but she finally had to go over and tell her what she was doing was against the rules and she had to stop...
She said the woman was just rude as she could be and told my sister in law at that point who her husband was...my sister in law said that didn't give her the right to electioneer inside the polling place...
So the woman very ungraciously went outside

SIL quit after that election season--said life was too short to have that much stress

But it will be 10 times worse w/Trumpsters trying to intimidate anyone they think might be an illegal voter...
I think local police better be ready to keep the peace w/o making things worse and in dome of these areas that will be very difficult because I think they are likely to be Trump supporters.

I should go to a very white area in my county and speak Spanish all the time. Maybe a Trumpette will accuse me of bring an illegal.
