If you want to know the high moral standard with which the @GOP regards counting ballots look no further back than the 2000 recount in Florida.

The recount stopped due to a mob tried to force their way into the office. They were later revealed to all be RNC staffers & lobbyists.
@GOP Republicans did everything from demagoguery to lawsuits and even paid mobs committing violence and threats to prevent people's votes from being counted in 2000.
@GOP There is nothing scarier to Republicans than an election where everyone's vote is counted, because that's not an election they can ever win.
@GOP The Brooks Brothers Riot at the 2000 recount was intended to appear like an organic grass roots group of ordinary citizens who wanted the recounts to stop.

Not only were they all Republican staffers, but many of the people in that photo went on to work for Koch Industries.
@GOP The Koch Brothers also pay people like Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA to complain that college campuses aren't friendly enough to conservatives, despite Charlie having never gone to college.
@GOP I'd actually recommend going back and giving the HBO movie Recount a rewatch. It's a good movie to boot, but you'll have to just accept that Kevin Spacey's in it.
