3. HOW DO YOU SPELL SHAMEFUL?

Detzner and his Gov., Rick-Boy gotta go. Seems that the DOJ from Wash. need to straighten out this system, as it isn't even close to working correctly. If the DOJ does not have the legal teeth, then Congress needs to give 'em a set, as a priority. Same with this bullshit balloting that can be "flipped" in less than a minute. Maybe we need to invite the United Nations to send in "Observers" and splash this crap on the world stage...but this can't stand. Meanwhile, I know Rachel is right in encouraging voters to "tough it out" and VOTE.

5. Modern Day Jim Crow, that's what it is

They have ALWAYS feared our vote.
But see they missed out on a crucial piece of logic.

When you suppress something, you make it more potent.
You make it stronger. You increase its density & impact.
You strengthen its force.

Suppressed carbon eventually turns into diamonds.
Suppressed gas turns into explosions.
Suppressed votes turns into MASSIVE ENTHUSIASTIC TURNOUTS.

And that's why these modern day Jim Crow tactics will result in the LANDSLIDE that will guarantee Obama's 2nd term.
Why those modern day Jim Crow tactics will result in the Democratic Party getting even stronger with the support of the voters who were suppressed.
Why those modern day Jim Crow tactics will ultimately destroy the Republican Party that supported them.
