All Turn Out is Good

If you believe in your message and your values and you believe in your candidate, you want everyone to vote. I believe that if every American voted today President Obama would be re-elected in a landslide. All the posts today about turn out as long as that turn out is high make me happy. I do not believe in limiting the franchise to those who agree with me. That's one of the things that makes me a democrat.

But voter suppression of any kind is bad and there's entirely too many dirty tricks going on that can alter turnout.
