Dems don't suppress voters while sitting in their offices and making decisions to eliminate polling places and change voter requirements. This is what GOP has been doing for 2 decades now.

I am not mystified at those posters working overtime to take the CRIMES OF REPUBLICANS and then shift the blame onto the Dem party. GOP internet strategy has increased its focus on Dem forums like DU, especially during the primaries, since 2003-4.
