You bet this was a dry run. EBT cards went blank in only 17 states on a nation wide program?
Someone posted a map of the states where the obamabots got shut off. The states were California, Midwest swing states and the deep south. Texas and Oklahoma were thrown in to poke a finger in their eyes. barak has a special hatred for TX and OK.
IMO the next ebt glitch will be nation wide. Maybe the weekend before Thanksgiving.
The states involved simply were the ones serviced by Xerox.
