16. Yeah, I've kind of cruised through their incident reports...
maybe a few dirty tricks here and there, inconclusive evidence, nothing that strikes me as widespread fraud or any monkeying with the actual vote count in Iowa. Doesn't mean it couldn't of happened, I just don't see any real evidence of it.

Would have been kind of tough for the Repugs to actually pull off, what with the generally consistent ethos and culture from both sides here in Iowa re: running a fair election, on top of it was a Dem, Chet Culver, who's a good guy, running the election.

Most of the incidents (only 36 reported statewide) were prior to election regarding registering, absentee ballots, etc....pretty normal stuff for any election. The reality is we Dems just did not do enough to combat the effects of the fundies in the west and the huge financial outlay in ngative advertising that blitzed our state from the Repugs and their associates in crime. I shall go to my grave wondering what else I could have done.
