Doug, that's absurd. Speaking purely as an historical point, that's a ludicrous statement. Not due to any particular virtue of Republicans, but because most electoral cheating happens in big city machine politics, and all of the big city machines are/were Democratic ones. Not all Republicans have horns and a tail, whatever you may think, and it's flatly ludicrous to say that the particularly sordid history of American election-rigging is dominated by Republicans.

You're right. But if you consider national politics in my voting lifetime (1972), the score is pretty lopsided.
