One person’s “technicality” is another person’s evidence they violated the law.
The democrats always cry technicality when they violate the law, but cry “illegal” when their enemies do the same.
You can bet they would have exercised the technicality if Trump somehow won California. Perhaps this is exactly the reason they printed the ballots this way.
If Trump wins, knock over the chessboard. If anti-Trump wins, meh.
