It seems like there is only one way to insure fair elections...
and that is for Democrats to get elected as Election Supervisors in red states, even if they have to run as GOPers to get elected.

Before anyone screams about that being devious, changing parties from to GOP after running as a DEM is a tactic used by GOPers, so the precedent is already set.

Remember, the "power of the vote" is truly held by those who count the votes...

1. um
pretending to be another party is not how you run a fair election.

playing the same game doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

it ALL has to end, not be perpetuated.

4. Changing parties doesn't mean you lied...

7. I guess you prefer to allow GOPers to continue to
run the elections, throw ballots out, forget to count ballots, buy paperless voting machines...

THAT is what is bs...
