One reason vote-rigging fears may have special valence this year: Sure, there hasn’t been that much vote-rigging in the past. But if avoiding nuclear war and semi-extinction is really at stake in this election, as some anti-Trumpers claim, they are almost under a moral obligation to rig the vote, no? Or even manipulate digital results, Mission Impossible style. Can’t let voters in one democracy screw it up for everyone! … The mainstream press has never so blatantly campaigned against a candidate before either, after all. …
It isn’t crazy to worry about unprecedented anti-Trump measures. It’s all hands on deck!

18 My “Rant”
Enjoyed the “Left, Right & Center” live show last night . (Listen here.) At the end of the show, everyone gives a short “rant.” This is what mine should have been:
There are at least three forces conspiring to devalue unskilled labor. 1) Trade (the work is done by cheaper workers overseas). 2) Immigration (the work is done by cheaper workers who come to this country). And 3) technology (the work is done by robots).
Trump plans to restrain at least two of the three (1 and 2).
Hillary would embrace 1 and make 2 worse.
Nobody has a plan to address 3.
