But we're not talking about tweaking the millage rate for the schools or hiring more teachers or firing some teachers or anything like that. 
We are talking about whether half a million votes will be counted, or not.
You have to go all the way back to 1776 to find such an abuse of the democratic process on this continent.
And those British appointed governors and tax collectors that we sent home with tar and feathers were mostly smart enough to not even bring their children onto this continent.
When you come to understand that the only alternative to voting, and fairly counting all votes, is massive violence, this will make more sense. Counting votes is not another one of these political shell games that we can manipulate for partisan ends like drawing districts or choosing judges.  If you don't count the votes right, inevitably you start counting the numbers of men and of guns instead.

That woman's kids have exactly nothing to do with votes being counted fairly and everything to do with being used as political pawns and as bait for being bullied. None of us knows the real truth about what went down, only the people who were involved. Unless there are raw voice or video recordings of wrongdoing from all parties we can only take the word of what those people said happened and that's filtered by the media. Everyone involved has an agenda and I doubt the truth is part of it. 

If I was in this situation and had a kid and someone doxxed the color of their hair, never mind their name and school, hell itself couldn't contain the rage and discontent I'd bring down on that joker. And that's saying something because like I said, no maternal bone in my body, but wrong is wrong and adults have no business bringing kids into their jacked up fights.
