"I'm all for exposing anyone who might have mishandled a few votes in our last election, but the Republican lawyers' team investigation looks far more like a fishing expedition to find some unproven details they can blow out of proportion, while keeping people tightly wound and writing whiny or shrill letters to the Argus Leader.

Proof isn't even needed, as the far right apparently believes mere accusations and even gets angry if nothing is proven - 'cause they know it's true without the proof."
