Thanks for listing these. I'll have to make a list to bring into the voting booth! And BTW ,the only voter interference I've ever seen was Scott Maxwell's goons trying to intimidate the Supervisor of elections workers at my polling place. Not a Russian in sight!(watch out for democrats with trunks stuffed full of empty ballots and voting machines in their cars.)
