25 million donated by MS to get the ear of the candidate and more spent to guarantee her elevation. The end of verifiable results with a paper trail. The results are to be overseen by one of Clinton's most fervent supporters.

Would you accept a such a hidden count with no possibility of review? Where is the transparency of process? Where is the verification?
