You're just repeating "but it was done by Madoff's accountant"! No shit, sherlock. I don't care what some crony of Madoff (read: Raffensperger) says. The fact that you do says you're a fucking moron or a crook.

Yes just like Madoff's accountant would do an "audit." Sure, yes. I'm sure that it was an "investigation." Please. The GA SoS is party to the alleged impropriety. And that means all of his cronies are as well. Statements by them are statements by the accused, not "investigations."
