State Rep. Curt Schroder (R-PA) - NOW he's worried about voter fraud and "electioneering."

Why weren't you concerned before, Curt?

Some choice excerpts:

"This year, however, the situation looks a lot different. Secretary of State Pedro Cortes, who oversees the state's election process, has bowed to pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the League of Women Voters who have threatened to sue the state in an effort to bring electioneering into the voting booth!"

"In a recent memo, Cortes gave the green light to "passive electioneering" at Pennsylvania polling places. Cortes said voters wearing campaign buttons and apparel should be permitted to vote, and cannot be made to remove political advertising. However, Cortes said it will be the responsibility of precinct election officials to make "judgment calls" about the appropriateness of the conduct of these individuals inside the polling place. I believe the subjective nature of these judgment calls makes his bad decision even worse and actually invites litigation."

"In recent years, concerns about the integrity of the election process and reports of voting irregularities have cast a dark cloud over Election Day. This year, charges of fraudulent voter registration activity could do the same. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is under investigation by the FBI for allegations of voter registration fraud in a number of states."

"Cortes' decision continues a trend of "anything goes" deregulation of our registration and voting process. Partisan organizations will, at some point, attempt to push the envelope on behalf of their candidate. The resulting chaos could make Wall Street's upheaval seem tame by comparison."

1. You'll be amazed at what the GOP will be worried about next year

They'll suddenly be Very Concerned about the federal budget Deficit. They'll want to know why we're holding all those foreign nationals at Guantanamo. And, of course, they'll demand complete transparency from the Executive branch.

The only reasonable response would be to fall down laughing, but you can bet that the popular media, showing all the recall powers of an advanced Alzheimer's patient, will join the baying pack of political has-beens.
