j reacts to what the wisconsin results can tell us about the fairness of the election

so, wisconsin. open primary. double-checked.

i had said before that washington would prove it's rigged, but i thought it was a ballot vote and it wasn't. so, that was a rational deduction brought on by faulty initial conditions (i don't want to call it an assumption). we could have a talk about the limits of logic. this is tangential.

what i had said was that he should win washington by a huge amount, but it will be balanced out by the dead people vote in seattle. she'd definitely get jimi. but kurt is white. the value of caucuses is that dead people can't vote in them. i don't want to discriminate against zombies, but i do think that the party should be looking to bring in more caucuses and phase out the primaries.

he won't do nearly as well in wisconsin as he did in washington, zombie vote or not. so, it won't be as clear - i can't say the result will prove tampering with the kind of clarity that a rigged washington primary would have given us. but, you should temper your enthusiasm.

i haven't seen any recent polls. but, if you think he can do as well as he did in minnesota, then you should expect results closer to illinois.
