    Well, if we're going to live in an "evidence" based universe, they appear to be the primary tool for vote fraud. Which makes your next sentence a bit of a doozy ...

    And here you go off the rails. Read the thread. Look at the number of in-person vote fraud cases alleged. Note how incredibly rare in-person vote fraud is. Think like an enterprising criminal for two consecutive seconds, and consider how you would go about stuffing a ballot box. I know you heard an angry white guy ranting about this on Fox News, but seriously, think for yourself for a moment.

    Because short of hating the "other," and perhaps repeating what you heard on Rush, I can't imagine why you would make willfully ignorant points that ignore the preponderance of evidence.

    I'm fine with disagreement, as you well know. But in the information age, ignorance is a deliberate choice. And if you persist in mendaciously equating the documented and on-record series of vote fraud cases brought against Repubs (and Repub operators) with this nebulous Dem machine that buses people in and "passes laws that make vote fraud possible" (a sentence begging for some back-up if ever I met one) then I'm going to call you out.

    Note that I do not suspect either the Repubs or the Dems of acting in good faith. I don't know how many times I have to say it, but either group would kill adorable puppies and offer their bloody hearts to Satan if they thought it would help them win.

    But—and this is important—the Dems strategy lies in making it easier for folks to vote in-person, while the Repubs rely on voter suppression. This is a seriously important distinction, and there's plenty of examples to back it up. And—this is SUPER important—neither has made any move at all to address mail-in ballots. So what does this tell us?

    That neither group gives a bleeding monkey rectum about vote fraud. It's all kabuki theater. And by repeating the Fox News points, without bothering to source or back up anything at all, or respond to a single in-thread idea, you open your argument up for ridicule.
