>> Didn't you used to be a Republican?

Moderate, who almost always votes Republican, but subscribes to many liberal causes.

>> R's were the guys who were against welfare, for example, but in favor of private charity.

I still support private charity. I just don't support private rigging of elections. DO YOU?

>> Have you totally given up the notion of private funding rather than big government? Hmmm.

How about this? You create an "Election Fund" that anyone can contribute to and a fully transparent, nonpartisan board of appointed officials allocates the funds. So, that the money cannot be perceived as a gift from Zuckerberg or Koch with attached strings. Every contribution can be publicly itemized and explained and viewable by the public.

But you can't have a partisan make a contribution and say, "This will be used to run our own voting centers without partisan supervision."

I'm open to various considerations including private money. I just don't want the cheating. It is, of course, a fact that without the cheating Zuckerberg will use his money in other ways. You and I both know that. That is what made the election cheating rather than legitimate. As a result, we have an illegitimate president and no way to possibly make him legitimate. Or his VP candidate. That is a terrible position for the world's greatest country to be in.
