I've noticed a few like him. One poster had a sign on date of at least 4 years or more, but when I looked at the posting history, it only seemed to start with this year's campaign.

My honest question to some of these posters (not that I would expect an honest answer) is: "how much are you getting paid to be here, and is it per post or length, and do you get bonuses for posting something over-the-top outrageous and successfully getting someone to believe it?"

There is a pretty good size group of people who come in just for elections. Maybe the people behind the handle change, and the handle is just held at some boiler room, I don't know. And some of them come back (same person) under new handles. There is plenty of subterfuge going on in this forum, and pretty much any other that attracts a substantial number of viewers.

I view them as scum, and shun them. My remark to Iowa David was an exception. Remarking to the disruptors and agitators (which I don't mind if they bring in evidence outside of their own voice) otherwise just adds to the noise, and helps them obtain their goal.

There are many posters on FR that I refuse to reply to. The signal to noise here is bad enough as it is.
