This “Early Lead” is a cheap trick to cover later cheating. The games begin.
This is where CW II will start.
No its probable that the cheating itself would be in those early votes.
Most voter fraud is the result of an operation where a handful of people manufacture many votes. You don’t think those votes all are casts on election day do you? No their almost all going to be cast ‘early’ and/or ‘absentee’.
The dead and fictional person after all has a hard time showing up to the poll in person on election day.
