Florida GOP admits to voter suppression efforts . . .

That would require proof of breaking a law. As far as I know, it is not illegal in Florida to change voting laws to benefit your own party by disenfranchising the other party's voters. (Note that another method of doing this is called 'gerrymandering' and has a long, mostly-legal history in the US.)

right - there is a big divide between illegal and two faced hypocrisy with an attack on the Constitution.

Scott Tranter, Republican Consultant: Voter ID And Long Lines Help Our Side

Republican campaign consultant Scott Tranter appeared on a panel Monday hosted by the Pew Center on the States to discuss the long lines and voter ID controversies that plagued the 2012 election. In his comments, Tranter seemed to imply that he believed these issues were helpful to Republicans and should be pursued for that reason.

"A lot of us are campaign officials -- or campaign professionals -- and we want to do everything we can to help our side. Sometimes we think that's voter ID, sometimes we think that's longer lines -- whatever it may be," Tranter said with a laugh.

Tranter owns Vlytics, a company that was paid more than $3,000 by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign for "data consulting."

What law did he break? Do you really believe this doesn't go on from both sides? Seriously?

Did the NBPP thugs end up in jail? I don't recall you rattling on about that incident.

None. It is legal to suppress the vote in some ways, as shown by several examples in this thread. I was responding to your statement:

"Anyone who attempts to suppress that right through whatever means, should be jailed for a long enough period of time to make it distasteful to others."

Did you just mean democrats?

No idea of what you are talking about. I thought I made my views very clear.

Oh, wait...you mean do I agree with your definition? OK now I see what you are saying. We have laws, when someone breaks those laws, they should be arrested, tried and punished if they are guilty.

That clear it up for you?

So it's only voter suppression if it involves illegal behavior?

How about having people who watch the voting, and make sure that there isn't any violence at the polling place? I don't believe that's illegal, is 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)

If they stand there with a club in their hand it is.

Your argument is non-sensical. Like saying all speeding is bad without defining what speeding is. If I am going 55 in a 35, I'm speeding. If I'm doing 55 in a 65, I'm not.

In general the states without a voter ID requirement supported BHO. Those states accounted for 66 EC votes. If those states had gone to Romney he would have won. But, so it goes.

The Radical Left cheats with greater efficiency.

And in general the moocher states supported Romney, ironically enough.

>The Radical Left cheats with greater efficiency.

So far the only actual evidence points to the right cheating. I am sure that in the imaginations of many right wingers, the left stole the election with their unfair use of . . . something.
