<If you spoke English as a second language you would probably find this note with these lies pretty threatening.

If I "spoke English as a second language," I would find this no more intimidating than the thousands of people who live near me who speak English as a second language, but also have legal status, fixed addresses, jobs, and are legitimate voters. On the other hand, if you use the term "English as a second language" as a code word for illegal immigrants, who are not legal voters, you might have something there.

And aside from the bit about cops hanging around, which part of this note was a lie?

I wasn't defending or supporting the note specifically, which if fraudulent, is certainly no more fraudulent than the dozens of flyers I get every election from fly-by-night groups trying to pretend, without saying so in as many words, that they somehow represent either the Democratic or Republican party, and including a "sample ballot." There are also flyers stuck in my windshield that if anything, are more polemic than the one I linked to.

What I am pointing out is that it is interesting that any attempt to enforce election laws is immediately seen as a specific and well-aimed shot at the Democratic voter. Somehow when laws are passed to make sure voters are legal, I never seem to hear "Hot damn! That'll get the Republicans where they hurt!"

I'm sorry that eliminating the incompetent and illegal votes will hit Democrats so hard. Maybe they should concentrate on convincing intelligent, legal voters for a while. But that ain't easy, is it?
