“The two words do not mean the same.”

According to American Heritage Dictionary, they do:

sub-mit sub-mit-ted, sub-mit-ting, sub-mits
TRANSITIVE VERB:
1. To yield or surrender (oneself) to the will or authority of another.
2. To subject to a condition or process.
3. To commit (something) to the consideration or judgment of another.
4. To offer as a proposition or contention: I submit that the terms are entirely unreasonable.
INTRANSITIVE VERB:
1. To give in to the authority, power, or desires of another.
2. To allow oneself to be subjected to something.

sub-ject-ed, sub-ject-ing, sub-jects
TRANSITIVE VERB:
1. To submit for consideration.
2. To submit to the authority of.
3. To expose to something: patients subjected to infection.
4. To cause to experience: subjected to extreme weather.
5. To subjugate; subdue.

In any case, I do agree that without something being done about the BBV/Diebold business no Dem has a chance... that's what scares me.
