Salon misses
The source of the outpouring of sentiment against Manjoo's article is not sour grapes. It's the massive frustration, felt by so many, that an enormous crime, both unproven and unanswered, might occur again and again. Ill-assigned ballot boxes are thuggery, debatably; practiced large-scale electronic fraud is light years beyond. All over this country voting machines are being readied that, by design, have absolutely no accountability beyond their handlers' and manufacturers' integrity. That integrity is bona fide shit.
"Unproven claims of theft" don't undermine Democrats' credibility, petulance and dithering do. The Republican Congress didn't impeach Clinton because they thought he might have lied; they did it because they could. Re-read the litany of things done to curtail and shift votes - proven and not - and tell us again you'll get to the bottom of it. Then please, please do.
There's no "divide...on the left" other than the willingness to create one for point-counterpoint purposes. Whipped up debate is tiring, not the search for the truth. We can look for the answers to Ohio and Florida, but they won't come from Manjoo.
Who knows - we may already be a winner.
