@ButtWorldsMan It may be true that they are sloppy at cheating, but I see this as a possible minor concession so that they can later say "See? We totally care about election integrity! We stopped it in these cases!" But since these elections are hardly consequential, it will not matter in the long term. Meanwhile, they will still pull every trick they can to steal the bigger elections.
@houseoftolstoy That MIGHT be a play by democrats, but since next year is the big one all they're doing is raising people's suspicions and distrust. This is likewise raise scrutiny and vigilance.
