I don’t trust any of this stuff - the ‘rats still have a lot of dirty tricks in their little paws.

Rule of thumb is that it has to be within two percent to steal.

Methods:

1. Hold precincts where you can cheat back until you know how many votes you have to manufacture.

2. If that fails demand recount.

3. If that fails, keep recounting until your candidate is ahead, declare the election over.

I don't think this is a strategy for stealing the election. I think it's a CYA for what they know is coming. These types of stories are more likely to depress Coakley turnout than Brown, making stealing less likely.

That said, VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
