But it's OK when DEMOCRATS do it?
Dirty tricks and October Surprises are as old as our republic.
We had a respectable election once, and the winner was George Washington. When the next election came around, the gloves were off and tar buckets filled.
In the 1796 election, John Adams suffered a blow when the Boston Independent Chronicle alleged that during the Revolution he had publicly supported Washington while surreptitiously attempting to have the General cashiered. In truth, it was Adams’s second cousin, Sam, who had sought Washington’s scalp.
Adams’s opponent, Thomas Jefferson, was accused of being the son of a half-breed Indian and a mulatto father. Voters were warned that Jefferson’s election would result in a civil war and a national orgy of rape, incest, and adultery.
In 1839, Martin Van Buren was accused of being too close to the Pope, when, in fact, he had done little more than correspond with the Vatican in his job as Secretary of State under Andrew Jackson. His opponents, nevertheless, spread the canard that a “popish plot” was afoot to ensure Van Buren’s election.
During the Polk-Clay race of 1844 the Ithaca, New York, Chronicle quoted "Baron Roorback" who had "witnessed the purchase of 43 slaves by James K. Polk". The entire story was a hoax. Polk had purchased no slaves; in fact, there was no Baron Roorback. But that didn’t keep the story from gaining wide attention.
During the campaign of 1864, Lincoln was tagged with every filthy name in the political lexicon, from ape to ghoul to traitor. Midway through his first term, his detractors accused his wife of collaborating with Confederates, a charge which compelled the President to appear, uninvited, before a Senate committee which was secretly considering the allegations and swear to his wife’s innocence.
The campaign of 1884 held the dubious honor of being the dirtiest in American history. In July, the Buffalo Evening Telegraph accused Grover Cleveland of fathering an illegitimate son a decade earlier in Buffalo. It turned out that Cleveland, a bachelor, had dated the child’s mother, as had several other men. The boy, therefore, was of questionable parentage. Yet the inherently decent Cleveland had provided for him. A chant soon arose: “Ma! Ma! Where’s my pa? Gone to the White House, ha! ha! ha!”
Warren Harding became the subject of a whispering campaign about his ancestry. A great-grandmother, it was alleged, had been "a Negro", and a great-grandfather "had Negro blood".
The dirty tricks don’t end once the ballots had been cast, either.
In the election of 1876, Samuel Tilden won the popular election but fell one electoral vote shy of a majority. The electoral tallies in several states were counted and recounted, juggled and changed, until finally the election was thrown into the Congress. An Electoral Commission had to decide the winner. Rutherford B. Hayes was eventually declared the victor.
Lyndon Johnson first won his Senate seat in 1948 by an 87-vote margin when 203 previously unnoticed ballots were miraculously discovered several days after the election. The “voters,” curiously, had approached the polls in alphabetical order, and 202 of them had cast their marks beside the Johnson name. This election gave LBJ his nickname of “Landslide Lyndon.”
Dead men not only vote in American elections; occasionally they are candidates. Philadelphia’s DEMOCRAT party bosses, for example, ran a dead man in an election. The cadaverous candidate was Congressman William Barrett, who departed the scene fifteen days before the election. The party hacks kept Barrett’s name on the ballot in the hope that uninformed voters would select him anyway. Thus the bosses could handpick his replacement. Barrett won.

Did anonymous sources tell you that, or was it perchance a pollster?

Let's see if Wray's SES can "put a lid" on Ton'y's phones like they did with the laptop.
I hope someone copied all the data and documented everything before handing them over.
