Well, either both sides did this or it's just BS. Otherwise someone would have been nailed for it.

Don't get me wrong, vote tampering is a time-honored tradition here and elsewhere. The thing is little tricks like people spoiling ballots seem somehow quaint when compared to the computerized vote flipping and voter caging that Republicans used in the last three presidential elections.
