(116 posts)Now that Citizens United let pandora out of her box, she being the big million and billion dollar corporations have sided with the GOP and have plans on stealing the election again as they did with bush and Al Gore and Bush and Kerry... http://www.democraticunderground.com/10844206 when you get there, click the thinker to see how it is being done... PS Romney is hiding his tax info as Bain Capital and their subsidiaries invested in a voting machine company that will be counting our votes and that may be his sandwich he was ordering with his mind being all amazed at how the machine in wawa land spit out his hogie... touch here touch there and out comes a stolen election just like a sandwich is probable what he was thinking...

(145,339 posts)At the trial on the Texas voter id law, the Texas Attorney General's office continued to claim that voter fraud exists but offered no direct evidence of the existence of this fraud. Hopefully, the judges in the Texas case saw through this crap. It sounds like the PA GOP are living in the real world and are worried about whether the actual facts back up their claims.

(24,415 posts)that that one Republican State Legislator- the one that crowed about helping deliver the state for Romney in November- isn't being scrutinized more though I guess it's good that DOJ is taking some action in Pennsylvania. Kind of brings back bad memories of 2004 with the CEO of Diebold(?) promising to "deliver" Ohio for George W. Bush.
Do most people realize (if they care to think about it at all) how much effort is required to actually engage in voter fraud? Republicans tend to conflate voter registration fraud with voting fraud and, I guess, that works with most people even though fraudulent voter registrations do NOT equal actual votes and that most people don't have the time, energy, or money to vote several times at several different locations, constituting fraud. Besides "too many people voting" is hardly the problem in this country.

(20,450 posts)I've stated this many times, but if the Republican Party is so confident that the American people agree with their views and support their policies, then there would be no need to engage in these egregious acts to suppress votes.
Why not allow the American people to speak through their votes? And without going through this rigor to suppress them?
Answer: Perhaps the GOP aren't confident at all that the American people--if they truly knew the real reasons and motives behind Republican rhetoric--would not support the candidates or their policies.
