Regarding the candidates who think they lost because of a voting machine error – Voldemort lost with a 37% margin and Faust lost by a 22% margin – those aren't statistical anomalies and are large enough that a problem with voting wouldn't explain the HUGE loss margins. The other ones that lost at an 8% (Orrock), 4% (Trenner), 8% (Rooney) – those are close enough that IF there was a voting machine error, it MAY have been close enough to change the outcome.

HWSNBN lost by a HUGE margin – can he stop trying to be relevant now?

Voldemort needs to go get a real job he's qualified for whatever that might be.

I will always put my name on any post, I don't run, I don't hide. This statement is coming from a person using the name Anonymous, that's hilarious. In addition you replace my name with Voldemort, so I cant respond, so I cant defend myself. WOW! Look up the definition of coward idiot! I am right here come get me!

While we're talking blog admin, I'd like to move for a different blog background – something that makes it look like I'm working when I'm reading comments instead. Snippets of the NRS or something? 😉

Yes I agree. I have been thinking about this myself. Glad I am not the only one!

I love how a reminder to limit slander completely cools comments. Fuck every judge who can't be bothered to read pleadings. Silver included. She's useless.
