You have a point about timing. However, this was whole mess was investigated by Republicans and “no intent to influence an election was found.”
I’m upset that my taxes are funding this nonsense. Most of these fraudulent “registered voters” never voted; the winos just took the money and drank.
The winos don't show up at the polls and no one expects them to. Their only purpose is to get another "ghost voter" listed in the registrar's book. Who shows up and votes in their place are the true believers, going from precinct to precinct to precinct. I remember a poster on here in either 04 or 06 that had worn his Teacher's Union jacket to the polls, and they gave him several ballots (he guessed they were assuming that he was a Democrat) and would not let him return them.
