Oliver explained the details of the absurdity (stuffing ballot boxes was once a real problem, but voter impersonation never can be) and then he launched an entirely new and unexpected expose.<br />I cannot figure out how to watch his show. It comes on HBO somehow and although I have Comcast, I can't seem to find it. So I see him mainly on youtube.<br /><br />Mad Dogthe phantom speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629183077961716582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859118341865282720.post-91887401518062833152016-02-18T15:59:51.487-05:002016-02-18T15:59:51.487-05:00Mad Dog,

Like his mentor, Jon Stewart, his points are intelligent, extremely funny and sadly true..Ironic that the Tennessee legislator who felt the need to legislatively address a voter fraud problem that doesn't exist, turns out to be the cheat. I enjoyed watching her attempt to explain her rationale for the behavior-she and her fellow cheating legislators are so busy they don't have time for bathroom breaks..huh?..Oh yes, that explains everything..The bad news is that it's likely that a poll of our fellow citizens would show a strong belief that fraudulent voters impersonating the dead on election day is a major issue. It's unlikely that the majority of voters would recognize the Republican goal of suppressing the vote as the real problem-and why the GOP gets away with it..<br />Maudmaudnoreply@blogger.com
