Republican Leaders Protect ‘Dumb’ AccuVote Machines Controlled By Dominion

by Op-Ed

Relying on Dominion to tally New Hampshire’s votes is like trusting Bernie Madoff with our retirement funds. Ignoring what is possibly the greatest crime ever perpetrated against American citizens’ sacred right to vote…is unfathomable.
