Glenn said he’d been taking calls all morning across the U.S. from the same type of caller.
At least there is some good news on that front. Lefties haven’t taken vote fraud down to the local level...yet.
Most vote fraud is local. I have an acquaintance who is a lawyer who mostly sues campaign organizations and others that commit vote fraud. Most of his clients are Democrats who are suing other Democrats for vote fraud in the primary.
