  1. I can’t believe any election is ever on the up-and-up, especially one in the US. So the answer is most definitely yes. Probably cost all the other candidates first place, except the one that actually won.

    Things in New Hampshire may be different but aren’t a whole lot better. The New Hampshire officials are either incompetent or corrupt.

  4. Because the ballot chain of custody in New Hampshire is an absolute joke we will never know who had access to the ballots. Here’s a discussion of what a joke the whole process is and how it invites corruption:

    I would image that most other states aren’t much better than New Hampshire.

  5. Yeah Louisiana, the most corrupt state in the union. That is an eternal truth. But you know, a corruptible system can also be corrupted with good, and with liberty, and with justice, and with illumination. That is the catholic side of me speaking.

  6. If they ever do announce that he won, they will make sure that it is after the 5th of February. Maybe they do know this but don’t want to give him any momentum. Momentum is what these are all about. The delegate selection is separate.

  8. There used to be a joke in the UK that the term “corruption and local government” was redundant phraseology. Maybe the joke needs to be rejigged.
