    The Republicans will keep on making it harder and harder to vote in order to steal elections, but each time if we can't overturn their bullsh-t we have to beat them at their own game and ensure a higher percentage of our voters are prepared than theirs.

    Note also that there is a ceiling (floor?) effect on GOP voter suppression. Their base is very stupid and pretty poor. They can only make the machinery so complex before they start peeling off their own.

    Yes, these measures are disgusting and we have to fight them. But in the meantime we have to beat them at their own rules. It's no surprise what they are doing. We have no excuse if we let them beat us this way.

        (c) get out and vote.
        Ummm...because the right is so good at (a) and (b) themselves...? Seems (c) is the only one listed here that isn't nonsense.

          I take that as a given.

              Well sure, we need to do something. Rover would rather just say they're lazy and complain about it on the internet which is kinda ironic.

              Please cite evidence of actual systemic voter fraud before posting about this. We've asked you to do this countless times and you just ignore it.

                I'm going to defend Rover here even though I know I will regret it almost immeidately when he says something needlessly incendiary.

                On (c): He is right that we need to vote. And in general he is right that after the nomination is decided we have to close ranks and present a united front.

                I'm not going to comment on his reply to (a). That's just an irreconcilable difference. But again, it does not matter as long as we do the other things he suggests, and for that he deserves to be backed up.

                  Given that he's stuck in the 1880's, I figure joe still believes eligible means no women and black men need to pay a poll tax.

                    I've never heard joe say anything remotely racist.

                    Granted, he probably thinks non-Christian votes should only count 3/5ths...

                      It's more that the Republican Party is successfully dragging us to the 1880's of no civil or labor rights with a oligarchy.And "eligible" voters is dog whistle for those dirty hispanics threatening proper white rule.

                        The article is a year old, but interestingly, it's Trumpsters who seem to have been the guilty party in the confirmed cases.
