Given the proper orientation of the flag in the background the portion of just Hillary has been flipped or the flag was added to the background in a composite of two different images. Given all the hardcore Hillary around fans I would hope this would have stood out like a sore thumb. It did to me. All is not as it appears. This is my world.

Just ordered it. You mean Wegmans isn't as high and mighty as we think? Selling counterfeit high end products at a really nice profit is bad and deceitful? Thanks for the tip. Just ordered it.

Are they expecting voters to show up, potentially large turnouts, long lines, and have things exacerbated by the fact that people have never used these machines before?
