    If the headline doesn’t specify a party, you know which party it’s going to be…

      I don’t think that’s true, but you can tell because of the disrespect for democracy.

      Every accusation is a confession from these guys… their thought process is “Well, we’re doing it! So they must be doing it too!”

        Or, “They must be cheating to be that popular, so I’m going to cheat too!”

    Artiles was convicted on three felony counts related to $44,000 in payments he made to Alex Rodriguez, a no-party candidate whose role was to siphon votes from Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, the Democratic incumbent.

    This is what all the people who only care about third parties either don’t understand or ignore.

      Socialist, green, and marijuana legalization parties make sense on paper. Of course that’s only as long as you ignore how votes are counted, where the money comes from, and their actual listed accomplishments.

    Is it doppelgangers ? We got them doppelgangers up here in the Pacific Northwest. We don’t have voter registration; we have character sheets. Y’all got ghosts, and we’ve got dopplgangers. We have to fight DnD monsters to vote and roll for voter initiatives.

    I will bet any conservative reading this headline with me $200 that the senator is a republican
