re: #142 thedopefishlives

Everything they accuse the Democrats of doing, they themselves are actually guilty of doing. Every voter fraud case I know of in my short-ish time here on earth has been perpetrated by a Republican.

My wife used to repeat the refrain about Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago registering dead people to vote through his alleged machine politics. She got that from the Libertarian Party in Colorado, but the claim originates from Republicans.

I had to sit her down and show her step-by-step how that claim came about originally from Illinois Republicans in 1960 over Nixon losing Cook County by a sliver of votes in the Kennedy-Nixon election.

Republicans insisted that he must have had dead people voting because the vote from the suburbs came in strong for Nixon, and as the night’s counting went on Kennedy narrowed the margin then surpassed him.

Today’s claims by Republicans of dead people voting are not new. They cannot conceive of someone disliking their candidates, so it must be some sort of cheating.
