"election has been going on forever"
It's multi-$Bs business, above all, media selling ads to BigCorp, consultants, PACs, hangers on, etc, etc.
The media tries attract viewes with "it's nail-biter" close, but it ain't.
A charade that has all to with democracy since voters' preferences almost never get translated into laws, regs.
Police state criminalizing political dissent, raping the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment.
This FBI Tactic May Have Silenced GOP Convention Protesters in Cleveland
In late June, Mother Jones reported that FBI agents had stopped by the homes of several local Black Lives Matter and Occupy Cleveland activists to ask about their plans for the RNC.
An FBI spokesperson told a Cleveland newspaper that the agents were conducting "community outreach as part of their security planning."
Activists in other cities who have been prominent in speaking out against police killings of African Americans told the Washington Post that they had been visited as well.
The FBI apparently continued to call upon activists throughout the week of the RNC. Last Wednesday, the Ohio chapter of the National Lawyers Guild released a statement claiming that eight special agents from the FBI, with officers from a metro Cleveland police department, "raided a home without consent or presenting a warrant."
The NLG said the raid appeared to be "part of a series of raids conducted" that morning.
When asked if the FBI activity had possibly quashed protests at the RNC,Jacqueline Green, co-coordinator of the NLG Ohio chapter and a Cleveland area civil rights and criminal defense attorney, replied, "I certainly think it had an effect."
She noted that some reports to the NLG included law enforcement telling people not to go downtown to protest.
An FBI spokesperson told Mother Jones that the agency never told participants not to go downtown.
