yeah, and this voting fraud stuff was on the front page of a number of the major state newspapers yesterday. i would guess there will be fallout for the R leadership that allowed this to happen

Is there actual fraud going on? The stories I saw used the word "fraud" but what they described seemed more like "dumb and confusing rules". If they say votes after the 11th don't count, and then they don't count them, that doesn't seem like fraud to me.

Incidentally, requiring an ID wouldn't fix many of these issues, ducy?

BTW, so RP's "try to win Maine via actual campaigning" plan didn't work due to shenanigans, but I predict great things for his "win the nomination via surreptitiously electing RP supporters precinct captains and stealth winning all the delegates" plan going completely unnoticed and unmolested whatsoever.
