    Is there anyone not expecting gunfire at a polling place on 11-8-16?

    There's no arguing this point: the Wall Street Journal is a propaganda sewer pipe with its origin point bolted to the anus of Rupert Murdoch. Consume the products at your pleasure.

    So, if the choices are two deplorable people, why would I choose the one who I have more policies disagreements with?

    It's fine if this is a policy decision for you. But if you pull that level for Donald Trump, understand that nothing you ever say about Bill Clinton will again have any credibility. You vote for the "R."

    There is a list of voting problems in Ohio in 2004. There were insufficient voting machines sent to locations, especially those precincts with heavily black and Dem registered voters. There were also significant number of malfunctioning machines. This lack of working voting machines resulted in waits of 5 - 7 hours to vote. No one knows how many potential voters chose not to or couldn't stay.

    The majority of the State used punch card ballots. Like in Florida. 94,000 cards were determined to have no vote for president. In two counties, votes were improperly counted for Bush initially, although at least in these jurisdictions the mistake was caught before vote numbers were finalized. He lost the State by 118,755 votes.

    And the maker of a bunch of these malfunctioning or non-vote recording machines was Diebold, owned by a man who wrote he was committed to deliver Ohio and its electoral votes for Bush.

    If Ohio had gone for Kerry, he would have won. Although he conceded the race to Bush, that he continued to harbor some resentment or anger about the documented voting irregularities that occurred would hardly surprising. It's hard to tell just how much resentment, anger or targeted suspicion he actually had, when one reads the entire New Yorker article instead of only one paragraph. Certainly, whatever his feelings, he did not call on his supporters to reject the results despite the hard evidence of voting issues and problems with machines supplied by a company owned and run by a man who had stated he would deliver the State for Bush.

    Other than that, there is no comparison between what Kerry may or may not have felt about the Ohio voting process after the election and Trump's pre-election claims of nationwide vote rigging.

    I really do. And it's depressing. Trump's whole campaign is ridiculous.

    I say partly because everyone is responsible for their own actions.
