Well duh. republicans figured out about 10 years ago how to use the constitution to win elections. Its all about the senate. Peddle a b.s. hate message to thinly populated states and screw the populous ones.

Here is a longer story along the same lines:

Well of course! They finally learned their lesson and are following in the footsteps of Democrats who blazed this very same trail over decades past.

People who have something (power, money, looks, whatever) sometimes think they deserve it because they already have it, and so they figure that whatever it takes to keep it is ok.

However, when you lost fair and square, you lost. Fix the process, not the result. Sometimes that’s tough, because of that whole power thing (think gerrymandering), but that’s how you do it.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Democrats!

Democrats are trying to steal an election in Florida

Let's be honest here... We don't have a Democrat or Republican problem. We have a leadership problem.



Plans foiled in GA.
Republicans remain strong.

Every election for the rest of our lives is the most important election in our life.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Exactly. We have a leadership problem.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Just showing that over time; it flips from the Democrats are bastards for "X" to the Republicans are Bastards for "X." This blame game has been going on as long as we've been alive.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

There is one party very loudly complaining about voter fraud and using that "noise" to hide electoral fraud.

That's just it. It does happen. And it's not just one party. We can go back in time and every time some one party takes a majority; the other party cries foul.

Interesting to see. Americans in general are so buried into ‘my party is right’ that your comment and observation is ignored for the most part.

I agree true leadership is missing

Yep.

We go through cycles here.

Democrats are found to be cheating: "It's emblematic of the Democratic party. They can't win honestly so they have to cheat! It's pathetic. Democrats have no integrity."

Republicans are found to be cheating: "Well, look, both sides do it. It's not a party thing."

Funny how the prominent GOP officials who have complained about supposed voting issues, such as Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, have gone silent about the investigation in North Carolina. President Trump, who has made unsupported conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about fraudulent votes a hallmark of his presidency, also has said nothing about the vote fraud issue in NC.

Agreed. Which is why all of a sudden comments like "both sides do it" are counter-productive. North Carolina isn't voter fraud, it is electoral fraud..

Like I said, the Republican party uses the fear of (illegal) people voting illegally to hide the electoral fraud they are committing.

Apparently the folks at the center of the NC election fraud scandal live in public housing.

Not that this is an issue per se, but it seems out of character for the beneficiaries of taxpayer largesse to be working to elect Republicans. I know the poorly educated form the GOP 'base' but this seems weird.
