To paraphrase the great Yogi..."if the people don't want to vote Republican, there's nothing you can do to stop them."

So the alternative is to prevent people from voting for the other side, right? Face it TB, not only did it not work, your goons got caught red-handed trying to sneak it past the rest of us. Next time, as the GOP constituency continues to shrink, its going to be even harder to pull off, not to mention harder to make excuses for.

Election fraud is a problem in any democracy, and in every party. Democrats do it as well as Republicans. But in the past, it was always a local problem, a criminal act by crooked individuals or a racist plot by bigots. The modern GOP has institutionalized it, turned it into nationwide policy in every state where they have been able to assemble a gerrymandered pseudo-majority. The contempt they have for our country and its principles is no longer a secret.
