Oh now, come on... this is going to be one of the most accurate and honest elections this country has had. Mostly due to modern technology. It's almost impossible to rig the votes.

7:1 Trump for a while now...... other than mid-west farmers, no one votes for Cruz
5:1, my bad
Rumor has it that a lot of Cruz’s votes come from misbehaving voting machines.
Still Report #771 - Voter Fraud Must be Stopped

How about that.
Thank you for hosting.
Still nothing to sneeze at.
You’re welcome, friend.
Oh now, come on... this is going to be one of the most accurate and honest elections this country has had. Mostly due to modern technology. It's almost impossible to rig the votes.
I would very gently suggest you ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet.
Considering that the pubby primary is the main focus of attention for the entire establishment, I’m sure the New and Improved Bipartisan Vote Fraud Machine has just been getting warmed up.
...along with every other stratagem and dirty trick has ever been committed, attempted or even idly considered.
I’d be thinkin’ about verifying that Montana’s Open Carry is good around Polling Places if we actually have to go to town to vote instead of our standard practice of mailing our ballots. (Might just have to, if we have to cut the mailman/Post Office out of the Chain of Custody....)
casinos are filled with electronic slot machines.... and people can’t wait to pull the handle
Cruz won 11 states:
ID, WY, UT, TX,
OK, KS, AL, ND,
IA, WI, ME.
He has roughly 505 to 517 delegates, 32-33% of committed delegates, which is enough to be a serious contender.
Trump won 20 states:
HI, NV, AZ, MO,
AR, LA, MI, IL,
KY, TN, MS, AL,
GA, FL, VA, NC,
SC, MA, VT, NH.
He has roughly 743 to 758 delegates, 47% of committed delegates, which makes him a strong front runner but not (yet) the winner.
John Kasich is a footnote in the race, with 143 or 144 delegates.
There are something like 108 to 114 unassigned delegates, and 186 to 188 delegates assigned to candidates who dropped out who could cross over to Trump, Cruz, or even Kasich.
____________________________________________________________
If Cruz gets ALL of the unassigned, plus the Rubio, Jeb, Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, and Paul delegates, that would put him in the lead but still under 50%. Cruz cannot do it without the Kasich delegates too.
If Trump gets 32% of the unassigned, plus the same share of the Rubio, Jeb, Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, and Paul delegates, that would put him over 50%. If Trump can’t even get 32% of those delegates, (1) he’s not the man I think he is, and (2) he doesn’t deserve the nomination. Include the Kasich delegates once they are no longer bound to the traitor, and Trump needs 21% of the non-Cruz delegates. It’s not being “stolen” from him if Trump doesn’t get over 50%; that just means he’s just not good enough at politics to close the deal.
Note: If assigned Trump delegates defect in the first round or even in later rounds but while Trump is still the front runner, then the nomination is being stolen from him. Trump needs to interact with his delegates, court them, build their loyalty, and in all respects work to make sure that doesn’t happen.
