I saw
this news from CT and wondered if there's been either (1) any support for the
charges of 'thanks for voting' give-aways in Nevada and (2) any DoJ
intervention in NV similar to what's been done in CT?
"WWE Chief Executive Vince McMahon has dropped his
company’s plan to give away merchandise at some Nutmeg State polling
locations, according to the Connecticut Post, after a receiving a letter Monday
from the Justice Department."

Just
curious. I don't have any evidence or involvement in either state.
