1. Imagine that indeed. I imagine that took some imagination to create such a mythical tale. Sounds so sinister when those terms are used too. This is one scary place. 2. I imagine you do not understand our founding fathers prescience in giving states balanced rights & limiting the powers of populous states from dominating more rural states. Perhaps this is truly a mythical place you have conjured up here. 3. I imagine that could happen. I imagine your exclamation point was meant to give a sinister spin or a sense of foreboding to the thought. 4. I imagine that this mythical place could correct this problem for future elections while being careful to avoid trampling the rights of the vast majority who were able to use these faulty ballots, that were within legal guidelines & approved for the current election. I Imagine that there were no other districts that had problems of an equal or greater magnitude in this mythical country then. Did this mythical district have more than a 5% error rate which was outside acceptable norms within this country? Imagine that! 5. Imagine that. Must be a truly mythical country you speak of since the US of A had slightly above average turnout for their election. Half of the population voted a resounding NO to both parties in the US of A. This mythical place sure has a despised caste though. They must truly be bad people considering the emphasis you placed on this. 6. I imagine that these goons were pretty bold to be impeding/intimidating potential voters in broad daylight with an untold number of witnesses & victims. I imagine this mythical place had unprecedented & unbiased media covering this atrocity 24/7 so that the criminals could be brought to justice. This despised caste must have had little chance of winning a nationwide election. I imagine that the other party could have put a straw man out there & beat the pants off this despised caste! 7. Imagine that. A close race in an election. How absurd! And oh the humanity! How could this despised cast manage to get any votes. His opponent could have been a total stiff & still won handily. I imagine that a machine simply cannot discriminate for one party over another can calculate a final tally without any malfunction in the real world, so this must really be a mythical place indeed. I imagine this mythical place was..... was..... nonplussed that a machine could count a close election any differently its ability to count a landslide..... unless this mythical place was fearful of machines & computers & rarely ever placed any reliance on them in the first place. 8. Imagine that. A mythical place that actually used care to manually count votes! It takes little imagination to believe that the use of partisans who ignore the Rule of Law & impose ever changing standards while allowing the most partisan people divine the most contested votes. Not only that, but the party with the majority having a 2 to 1 or a 3 to 0 advantage in divining another voter's intent. This place is more than mythical..... it's mystical. 9. I Imagine that it would have been a miracle to have such a tyrant even be allowed to govern a province & have him somehow get this tainted history past an entire country in a primary, yet this tyrant ended up in a tight race to run the whole country. The guy who ran against this despot who represents the despised caste, must be one serious loser in that case. 10. I imagine that this dude who repeatedly proclaimed himself KING would appoint folks to lifetime positions after gaining approval from another branch of government, unless this mythical country was a monarchy..... or dictatorship. Dr. I imagine your scary albeit imaginary scenario would be cause for concern if it were true down to the core. I pray your perception of this reality is that it is just that..... imagination. FWIW, election fraud is not new to this election. The democrats do have a long history of implementing it as part of their party machine. I guess that ability to be liberal with divining, 'The Will of the People', gives them more latitude in these matters. Those pesky republicans are so..... you know...... anal retentive....... obsessive compulsive with rules & regulations...... & they're just so danged conservative about the Rule of Law & such that they tend to mess up in that election fraud area. Their hands may not be totally clean, but history is on their side here. So what exactly was your point anyway? Ö¿Ö
