I sure hope this movement works. Why no one in the GOP ever thought to work on this problem is beyond me.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261739259295914188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-43193433113691469472012-09-25T17:04:04.759-04:002012-09-25T17:04:04.759-04:00"We have a constant problem in my precinct, f...<i>"We have a constant problem in my precinct, for instance, finding a Democratic judge to serve. Luckily for the Democrats in my precinct, I wouldn't dream of countenancing any shady behavior at my polls and would deputize armed fellow citizens to nip it in the bud. Sadly, that is not the case for all precincts in America."</i><br /><br />As far Democrats living in the hills/hallows near the Huns? I have heard there is one or two. To borrow a phrase from the Doc Holiday character in the movie Tombstone, <i>that's the roomah</i>, but I've never met one in the flesh.<br /><br />You have also summed up the general attitude towards the principle of voting integrity for all the folks I know.

The Democrats who run Philadelphia are so brazen that a few years ago, in a state assembly *primary* election, the 'reform' candidate beat the 'machine' candidate until a trunk load of absentee ballots were 'found' (all for the 'machine' candidate). <br /><br />That did not stand however, since in the ensuing lawsuit, it was found that the number of absentee ballots for the 'machine' candidate exceeded the number of registered voters for that district. But in the end nobody was prosecuted for vote fraud.
