Yes, you have said before you think it isn't corrupt for a private individual to seize control of selected voting operations.
No, I never said that. That's your framing of what I said. I never said or suggested that "seizing control" was acceptable. I have told you before--don't put words in my mouth. Funding something that someone was already planning but couldn't afford is no more seizing control than giving a kid something that he put on his Christmas list is seizing control.

Well, the conditions were partisan. We know that.

No, we don't know that. The specifications of the grants are public information and there is nothing partisan in them.

WRT the predilections of the actors, you cannot reasonably assume that a partisan actor in any given act has his finger on the scale. We know that dads can fairly call balls and strikes on their kids and are assumed to be doing so until evidenced otherwise. Besides, you don't even know that Z is a D partisan. You just assume it.

Obviously, there is a great deal of inconsistency in that position.

Not obvious at all. Dare you to find it.

Sometimes, there is stuff there you just do not want to see.

Usually there is stuff that you see that isn't there.
