And never get prosecuted for it.

they weren't stopped in 2000 or 2004, so why not? Not only were they not stopped, they weren't even called on it. Mostly what I heard FROM DEMOCRATS was something along the lines of "get over it, we lost fair and square". Now the meme goes, "sure they steal the elections, so we've got the gotv so we have so overwhelming of a majority that they can't steal the vote". Of course that's bullshit too. They've stolen close races and haven't paid a price, so why will a landslide stop them from stealing it? At some point that's exactly the way it works when you don't call them on it.

The question for me is not, "Will they steal the election?", it's "What are we going to do about it when they DO steal it?" I'm sure we'll lawyer up and try to give them a sound thrashing in the courts. Yeah, that'll work. NOT! It'll be expidited to the SCOTUS and Romney will be awarded the presidency by a 5-4 decision. If we surround DC and the Supreme Court building with about 2 or 3 million people and stop commerce, we might have an effect, but the courts won't do it.

before the American public gets interested.

so expect a ramp-up of dirty tricks from now forward into any foreseeable future

Of course they'll try to steal it!
