People have always carped about the stealing of elections- and in some cases elections have been stolen. But neither party has historically clean hands- or even clean hands in this election. I'm afraid the partisans fail to understand that statistically there are probably very similar numbers of cheaters on both sides- and that in this election, neither of the guys at the top, while particularly pure, is actually involved in orchestrating any cheating that might or might not be going on. Both candidates want to win- both are willing to exploit the law and the court of public opinion to do this. To label one of them better than the other seems to me just one more partisan exercise. We chose our "guy" for our own political reasons, then we try to find "objective" reasons to justify the choice. But there are no objective reasons. We chose based on our personal interests- we can SAY that our interests our lofty, and noble and pure- but that don't make it so, especially not to the guy on the other side of the fence.
