They’re 100% going to meddle in elections, that’s a bipartisan issue:
Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

Seriously, fucking up other people’s election is one of America’s favorite pass times and largest open secrets.
