According to whichever anchor I was most recently watching on CNN, that business about keeping the polls open in Cuyohoga County was fishy, since the judge signed the order allowing it despite the lack of any evidence or eyewitness accounts of ballot shortages, bad weather or any other compelling rationale. Who benefits? The reporter pointed out that the Clinton people would not come out and accuse the Obama campaign of illegalities, but when the reporter asked the Clinton campaign staffers “are those largely African-American precincts?” the answer was a vigorous “yes.” The reporter noted that the Clinton campaign is reluctant to make the argument, because they feel that they cannot afford to piss off African-American voters. Live by the machine. Die by the machine.
