-Caveat Lector- Samantha Some things cannot be proved or disproved by an Internet URL but in response to your claim to have "refuted" what I said concerning local politics, I offer you the following which is still working as of this morning. It is a listing of every Republican candidate who ran in the State of Alabama at the local level. I counted a dozen or more counties with only one and a few are not even listed, having none as yet. If you eliminate the office of constable as there are dozens--pretty much anybody who wants to be one--it is apparent that there are less than even 10% of the candidates at the local level statewide who are Republican. In 1995 I attended a RNC meeting where it was discussed that the goal was to have at least one candidate on every ballot in every county. That goal has not yet been met but I do see lots of progress has been made. No, Samantha, I do not have a url for that meeting but assure you it happened. The sky is blue and grass is green but I cannot prove it by an Internet url. How sad some are coming to believe if it is not on the 'Net, it is not real. So, Samantha, if you think with fewer than 10% of the candidates, the polls are run by Republicans in the South, your mind is so distorted that it will never see the truth of the matter and I give up. Who was it that said "All politics are local"? It was only in recent years that there were ANY Republicans running for local offices. One ran as a Democrat locally but could support a Republican candidate for governor, president or congress. Long story on why. I was merely trying to tell how it is. So if the polls are run by Republicans with the DOJ trial starting tomorrow, I believe it was, we can have indictment after indictment as soon as next week! I am sure the Democrats will not let this "massive" disenfranchisement happen without bringing lots and lots of charges against those evil Republican poll workers who did all these things. Ha! Once again I contend polls in the South are run by Democrats and almost exclusively so. There are, of course, always exceptions and a few Republican poll workers manage to sneak in but by and large it is the Democrats show for better or worse. So now I, too, have wasted my time talking to a brick wall as if one does not want to believe something, they just do not. But for the benefit of anybody with a mind open enough to grasp this, it will clear up a lot of things.
