Things to "Huummm" at
I responded recently to a comment in the Youtube comment section about how the commenter "huummmed" at the coin-flips in Iowa. My response was as follows:
There has been an unprecedented amount of things to "huummm" at that have all coincidentally benefited Hillary. large amounts of coin flips sending an admittedly small amount of county delegates Hillary's way? Huummm... Bill effectively shutting down poll booths for hours? Huummm... Elderly and disabled being taken out to vote for Hillary and get ice cream? Huummm... A guy recommended to the Sanders campaign by the DNC itself accessing a database at the exact moment it happened to be accessible and getting the Sanders campaign in trouble? Huummm... The DNC not wanting an investigation to happen for that exact incident? Huummm... Massive voter purges happening, being done by a woman in NY who was paid over $6Million above the market value for a rat infested, decaying piece of rental property, by die-hard Hillary supporters? Huummm...
And that's just a portion of the "huummm" worthy things that has happened this campaign. I haven't even brought up the fact that the exit polling has been almost perfectly inside the margin of error on the Republican side of the nomination process, but on the Democrat side, it has been so wildly outside the margin of error that there is almost no vote count that passes our nation's own standard for determining if there has been election fraud in other countries. In other words, according to our very own standard, the Democratic nomination process has been riddled with election fraud.
I haven't been voting for very long, so it's possible that I'm completely naive and ignorant, but in the short amount of time I've been a voter (since 2008), I haven't noticed such blatant corruption before this election cycle, even though I had always assumed there was a certain level of corruption ever since my junior high years. Is it that I was just completely clueless, or is this the most blatant corruption we have all seen? And if this is the most blatant we have all seen collectively, is it because this level of corruption hasn't happened in a long time, or is it that it has always been this bad, and we are just becoming aware thanks to the internet?

This is the most blatant I've ever seen
And I've been voting since 1983.
One correction for future comments - the real estate sale was "only" 1.1 million over market value, as the real estate itself was worth around $5 million.
Still.... 1.1 million is no small change!
Considering she only paid $5,000 for it...
...it's more like Trump Change...
I want my two dollars!
If that place was worth $5Million
I know a burned out meth house on the opposite side of my town that's probably in better condition that should fetch a fortune.
I think it was the real estate, not the building
that was worth money.
Its real estate in New York, right? I believe it.
The Hillary campaign is nothing new
What happened in Nevada was the same thing Mondale supporters pulled in Texas in 1984.
In 2004 there were 10 states where the official vote total was an exact mirror of the exit polls (official, W by 5, exit polls, Kerry by 5. Randi Rhodes called it "flipping")
There is a story that in the 1950s LBJ won a house seat by a shutout - his opponent received 0 votes. He pointed out that at least 1 person - himself - voted for him, but his complaint was ignored.
Another LBJ story says that he got the name "Landslide Lyndon" because he won an election by 1 vote. (no, Kathleen Harris did not count the votes)
And a third LBJ story - there is a claim that the 1960 election was decided, not by fraud in Chicago, but fraud in Texas. The rationale was that the Daly machine only stole votes in local elections, while LBJ stole Texas for himself.
And if you want an historical example, a historian I respected once told me that in the infamous Hayes - Tilden election (famously stolen by Hayes) that Tilden was not allowed a recount because it was assumed that Tilden had actually stolen more votes than Hayes, just not enough to win.
On to Biden since 1973
