More Reassuring Voting News
By In an Iowa Republican Primary this Tuesday, the county auditor noticed that a challenger was unexpectedly doing much better than a popular incumbent.

Golly, good thing they had those paper ballots to check! They don’t have them in big parts of California anymore, but I’m sure those voting machines are perfectly reliable.
