Okay so we are so confident in the very same process that gave us people guessing at a voters intent with dimpled chads as accurate enough to not need to be fixed. Well the close ones are the reasons to fix it.

And it’s too bad the GOPs efforts to further distort the process have made it so difficult to address from another point of view, that of reducing error. The GOP is half responsible for that. The other half of that lies with those who just can’t conversationally separate a fair effort from an unfair one.

Is that how we failed to have a funded push of ID in California to the needy? I have to wonder if it is. I do not think we have nearly as accurate a system as we deserve.

I can’t agree. The GOP is totally, wholly responsible for attempting to suppress minority voters with bogus, unnecessary, and probably un-Constitutional “voter ID” laws. The only purpose for these initiatives is to gain a political advantage for the Republican Party, period.

This tactic worked for many years in the South to suppress the African American vote, and they’re trying to resurrect it by drumming up completely fake outrage over nonexistent problems.
