Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just think we have to be very clear: She’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue to showing you this. Maybe they do have something else to back that up, but that’s an explosive charge to make, that the other side is effectively rigging and cheating. … Not so fast.
