At this time in my life I have six great-grandchildren, and a great-great grandchild is a not-too-distant possibility. I also have several great-great nephews and nieces – perhaps even a great-great-great. At times it become a bit confusing.

There is fraud in every election. The only question is the matter of degree and the extent to which it affected the final outcome in the recent Presidential contest.
