Besides only paying attention to the election fraud when you loose makes your ass look sore!

and lost registrations? It seems to me that if we don't make a stink about it now, we won't have a leg to stand on post-election in the event that their efforts succeed.

The asshole Republican Gov. here (Rick Scott) reduced early voting by four days this year. People have been waiting in lines, including me, exceeding three hours to early vote which is insane.

Ohio, with another Repuke Gov and Sec. of State is doing the same shit. It isn't a conspiracy. It is happening to thousands of people simultaneously.

Too much has already happened to be cause for great concern and there's an old saying I think is pretty accurate:

'Forewarned is forearmed'

They got away with 2000 because who in their wildest dreams back then even imagined that they would steal an election, or again in 2004 when we had been told to shut up also?

This issue needs to out front, it's like knowing who a criminal is but not having enough evidence to put him away. Best thing you can do is let everyone know how dangerous he is so they can be on their guard at least.

Letting THEM know we are watching makes it harder for them to do their dirty work.
