No thank you.
If Fedzilla takes over our elections, then we can be sure it’s rigged.
Right now there are certain areas where fraud is rampant, but on the whole, most localities run pretty good elections.
I know several people who are election officials and I have confidence that here we have fair elections.
He is no Constitutional scholar.
He despises the document.
