5. Only if the voting systems aren't compromised
THAT is the rub. They have more than a handful of "manual" disenfranchisement and ballot-stuffing tactics...all certified in 2000 and perhaps before, when they flew under the radar(maybe).

From purposefully giving the broken machines to the Democratic areas, vacation home voting, purposefully non-specific "felon purges", the many corrupt, dishonest tactics they use on African-Americans from paying off some of the pastors to "Vote Wednesday Nov. 6th, but you must have all your bills and rent paid" and I'm sure half a dozen we know nothing yet about...

...And that doesn't even take into account the fact that 10-25% of the vote is going to be cast on Touchscreen "Voting" machines.

We are in deep trouble. Best not to forget that.
