A lot of this misses the point. Any voting unit that is noncompetitive to the extent that the vote is unanimous for one side or the other is very susceptible to fraud. I have been dealing with voting lists for years in many jurisdictions. Election officials are very reluctant to remove voters. Every voting unit I have ever called, or worked on election day has between 65-70 turn out max. This is because over the years many names stay on the list after they have moved or died. They don't vote but they reduce % turn out. Voting units with out bipartisan officials that turn out >90% of their list are very suspect. Those that exceed 100% are fraudulent. This goes for both parties. Republicans are not immune from temptation (don't we know!!)

As for Benghazi, the “out there” explanation is that Obama or his agents had arranged for a kidnapping of US personnel and then an “October Surprise” release after extensive negotiations. No one was supposed to get hurt. Everybody benefits. The kidnappers get something and seem reasonable, Obama gets the credit that Carter missed out on in Iran and wins reelection. One of two things went wrong (or both). Embassy staff was more determined and better armed than anticipated, and killed some of the attackers. That pissed them off and they killed the ambassador, and the rest were rescued by the Americans, or the attackers double crossed Obama.

As for Susan Rice, the parrot of the CIA, that did not work out so well for Colin Powell or George Bush. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Happy Thanksgiving

Two Navy Seals showed up. If they’d been granted the proper support, things would have ended much differently.
