about

A handy guide to common forms of electoral manipulation.

lyrics

[Krystal Ball]
"Well guys, it was rigged, what can I tell ya? That is not a conspiracy, it is a simple objective statement of fact. Let me explain what I mean here..."

"After waiting nearly an entire day and endless speeches about how it was better to be late than wrong and a day of chastising Sanders supporters for doubting the fairness of a process run by people with manifest contempt for them, the Iowa Democratic Party made the absolutely inexplicable decision to release a partial set of data from the Iowa caucuses that showed 62% of the vote totals."

Legalized bribery, payoffs, kickbacks
Cooping, armed thugs, intimidators
Bruisers, ballot stuffing, vote buying
Machinations, tabulators, hijinks, hacks
Legal rollbacks!!

(break)

Straight up fraud, missing ballots, poll taxes
Dark money, gerrymandering, super pacs, hanging chads
Slick insiders, backroom deals, intimidation
Superdelegates, bots, faulty apps!!

I know their ways
I know their game

(break)

[Krystal Ball]
"As if they hadn't done enough damage to any sense of trust in our basic democratic institutions, which they have clearly sold to a coalition of grifters and donors, the pièce de résistance came yesterday evening. I'm not alleging a grand conspiracy here, not at all, but a potent combination of media and democratic establishment contempt combined with utter incompetence..."

(solo)

I know their ways
I know it's rigged!!

[Krystal Ball]
"You don't call that rigging? If Russian bots were somehow involved, you can bet that MSNBC would be in full meltdown mode for years to come. But because it benefits one of their anointed, preferred candidates they'll just accept it instead."

"Let me just say this: trust is something that has to be earned. And today, there is absolutely no reason for any anti-establishment supporter to trust that the process will unfold fairly for them."

[Jimmy Dore]
"It's a real people's party, huh?"
