Karl Rove by U.S. Government
NBC Political Director Chuck Todd ridiculed election machine
critics at a major conference of vote-counters last weekend -- thereby underscoring
how Washington works.
Todd told the National Association of Secretaries of State that
their critics must be paranoid to fear that anyone would deliberately
alter results. Allegations against Karl Rove, above, are among the most common.
"That's just stretching the bounds of reality," NBC's
chief White House correspondent said in response to my question asking him to
amplify his Tweet last fall on vote-tampering claims. "That's feeding the
conspiracy." Todd had Tweeted:
"The voting machine conspiracies belong in same category as the Trump
birther garbage."
Todd won a round of applause for his response, the only such
interruption during his enlightening and entertaining Jan. 26 address and Q&A.
Audience members were mainly state secretaries of state at their mid-winter
conference, plus sales reps for voting machine and software companies.
The rest of this column examines why those involved are so reluctant
to discuss election machine fraud publicly except to deny its existence. Hint: Silence is golden.
