It's primary season 2024. Candidates are being chosen for the national election in November. Will there be election fraud and manipulation like there was in 2020 and 2022? Count on it.

Illusions must be preserved, though, to keep the populace from getting too restless. The manipulations must be difficult to prove and open to contradictory explanations so that no-one can demonstrate anything conclusively.

While not presuming to be comprehensive, it is my intent to describe some known methods and suggest some new ones likely to be used this year. Some will object that I am teaching people how to commit fraud. I would point out that the bad guys already know these things. It is the honest people who need to know how they are being cheated and what to watch for that need this information.
A bit of background is in order first, before I get into description of methods. While much has been made of the use........
