I heard about this years ago. Just like I heard about Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks before his 1968 election.
Traitorous behavior. Administrations could have been jailed for it, both times.
I'd argue what happened in 2000's election in Florida almost rises to the same level of election malfeasance.
Election interference is a Republican brand. Democratic caving in to or helping to hide same is their brand. Or maybe that's the "deep state". I don't know. But the worst deeds were done by the GOP, every time.
