> Be it 7 "random" wins in Iowa

Programmer rails against randomness because it doesn't suit him. Film at 11.

> to past presidents using their authority and influence to shut down polling locations in Massachusetts for hours

Neither the Boston nor New Bedford locations at which Bill Clinton appeared (and I am setting aside whether it was right for Clinton to do so, because it appears to have not been illegal and the fine for such being all of $20 anyway) were closed at any point. Both remained accessible at all times.

But you know that, or you should if it matters to you.

> just this past week Arizona having its polling locations cut by 70% that produced waiting lines over five hours long

This is the result of the VRA being gutted by the Roberts Court and the Maricopa County government (hint: really really not Democrats) choosing not to establish nearly enough polling places.

But you know that, too. Or you should, if it matters to you. Because you are entitled to your opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
