3 days until Election Day.
Amongst all of the stories of failures, lawsuits, voter purges and voter suppression there is an occasional story that begs to be read and passed on to others so they will read it.

My GOD! Von Spazkoffsky! Another chinless wonder of the elite breeding pool strewing stinky, multi-hued fish to lead us to his ginormous straw man, to wit: It only matters if an illicitly registered voter is illicitly registered when and if that voter shows up at the polls. According to exhaustive searches of records across the nation, iirc there have been exactly 18 instances of this phenomenon in the last 10 years or so…Unfortunately, if Obama does win, and he does not, for instance, gain a sizeable MAJORITY mandate, the GOPukes DO win by keeping it close enough to steal…even without actually stealing it outright…
