hmmmm, found the time to whine elsewhere about trivia, but this?

still nothing......I guess the matter of voter fraud only alarms certain people if it involves the potential of liberals or Democrats winning?

only a fool would believe there isn't fraud going on...... ON BOTH SIDES

this might be the most extensive case, in the sense that it may have had a measurable effect upon the outcome. Yes, CUDA, both sides pull an assortment of stunts, but in all my years around elections, I've never seen a case where the games played changed the outcome. And, to be fair, it might not have even risen to that in the Michigan case. I did find it interesting that while some folks are all too glad to bring up voter ID and the like, a case like this gets nothing by way of mention.

Blame the Media.

they know if they mention it then they cannot say a thing against Voter ID's. it seems like they have backed themselves into a corner.

Oh, it's going on with both sides, no argument there, but the Republicans have institutionalized voter fixing into law in quite a few states, granting them an advantage that will be hard for the other side to purge. I guess if Republicans can't win over voters with their vile platform, they'll have to resort to cheating just to win office.

like I said Only a fool.

I guess only fools should sit back and let the Republicans continue with putting in their new suppressive voter laws. But no matter, Republicans will still lose in the long run despite their chicanery and machinations. Their platform is still so rotten, people can smell it a mile away.

my early guess is that it will backfire in NC, with a massive backlash. Also, see what happened in Ohio and Florida back in 2012? Voters lined up until midnight to vote, and elderly ones at that, after restrictions got passed. As you say(and I base this one conversations with normal, very apolitical people), the stench from these moves is making non-political people into activists, at least until the bums are eliminated for good.
