Subject: Re: Julian Epstein...
So there was no way for them to do that, but quite a few folks were convinced that there had to be someone behind the curtain that had the power to overrule the primary results. But as we all saw, there just wasn't.

I wonder if this is related to the "deep state" mentality, i.e. the belief that there is some cabal running things behind the scenes. Like in X-Files, with the Smoking Man and his group of conspirators. Makes for a cool story, but isn't terribly realistic.
