Does this give Angle her reason for the Second Amendment Remedies?
Sharron Angle Campaign: Harry Reid 'Intends To Steal This Election'

Republican candidate Sharron Angle's campaign is accusing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of plotting to steal Nevada's Senate election with decision day in the Silver State just one week away. The campaign provides virtually no evidence to back up the claim, and Nevada's Secretary of State disputes the e-mail's allegations.
Cleta Mitchell, attorney for Angle's political operation, asserted in an e-mail to campaign supporters on Tuesday that there is reason to believe Reid is calculating a plan with Nevada's Secretary of State to swipe a victory in the contentious race should he fall short in locking up support for his reelection on his own. (Nevada political journalist Jon Ralston first called attention to the serious charges being put forth by the Senate contender's campaign.)
"Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright," explained the lawyer on behalf of Angle. "As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics at a cost of nearly $80,00 ."
Mitchell went on to explain her understanding of the legalities at issue as it relates to "ACORN-style tactics" she detects being used by the four-term incumbent's campaign:
Understand, EVERYTHING we have worked for in the last year could be destroyed by dirty tricks and criminal acts in the next 8 days. As Sharron's first line of defense on these matters I am absolutely committed to making sure this won't happen.
What Harry Reid is doing is clearly illegal. Nevada law (NRS 293.700) provides that, "A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or use and other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130."
Nevada's Secretary of State's office calls the letter "conjecture and rumor" and notes that "no such complaint has been submitted to this office."
In the e-mail, Mitchell also solicited campaign contributions for the Tea Party-backed hopeful in the letter. She said that raising $80,000 was crucial to combat efforts from Reid's "Machine" to "steal" to a victory in his reelection fight.

1. Bullies often claim to be victims
It's human nature it seems that regardless of how awful the action, we still need an excuse, no matter how flimsy.

5. No.. ACORN is a dog-whistle to these folks
It means black and minorities supposedly cheating, lying, and stealing.

Hispanics are all illegal aliens.
Black people are all felons.

I hate these dicks.

3. Isn't this what she tried to do with her tea party opponent.....
"A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or use and other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130."

She tried to bribe him to pull out of the race and therefore to change his own vote with access to people in Washington that she has "juice" with..
