    I mean “vote early vote often” was a phrase out of Chicago and I’m pretty sure the Jungle was based in a bit of truth.

    No, I don’t Believe this is actually happening, just pointing out there may have been some truth to it.

      Men have been to the moon. It doesn’t mean the moon is accessible.

      Having a basis in truth as a concept is not the same as being a common occurrence that should foster concern.

      Using one to cause the other is pretty disingenuous.
