Not sure who or how this helps but in 2013 I was told that BO was “chosen to win”, by a friend who was from Saudi Arabia. His mother was a high up lawyer for OPEC and he obviously came from a very very wealthy family. He claimed that “it was known” that BO would win and the elections were rigged. I told a family friend about this and they laughed. I remember the family friend saying that their wife worked in the polling station and would take me to show that it was not rigged.
2020 how times have changed
