I’d fight you for the honors, but I’m not going anywhere near that state for a long time (unless it’s to visit my unfortunate family and friends who still live there).
Yeah, I saw several sketchy screenshots of different voters who are apparently dead and apparently voted. However, I used my state’s ballot receipt verification website and all it required was my first and last name and zip code. Clearly if you use a very common name in a very large zip code and pop it in to a state’s verfication site you could pull up a “dead” person who is in fact a live person with the same name. The amount of arm chair detective work being done by total fucking morons in the last three days is astounding.
I haven’t been there but it’s my understanding that the place is uncharacteristically tasteful compared to his other properties because he mostly left its design and decor alone after acquiring it rather than imposing his own aesthetic.
The other problem is that voter fraud doesn’t scale. It is possible to manage it sometimes but it’s a one at a time thing. Really difficult to do it in such a way as to get enough fraudulent votes to make a difference even with the razor thin margins we have here.
To get fraudulent votes at scale you have to do something like hack the pathetically insecure voting machines. Even then if you did that it would look like unexpected Latinx support for dRumph showing up in the Miami-Dade area.
The Latinx population isn’t a monolith and has always skewed conservative around Miami due to the intense hatred of the Castro regime. Cuban-Americans may share a language with a Mexican-Americans but that doesn’t mean they share the same priorities.
Which may be the only way we can convince the GOP to allow Puerto Rico statehood to go forward… we just have to convince them that they can indeed get brown people to vote for them if they don’t act like assholes all the time.
