Which they used in 2004 to great effect by reducing the number of voting machines in heavily Democratic districts, then closing the polls in the face of the huge lines waiting to vote. Kerry should have definitely contested Ohio in '04. Florida in '01 was mainly an exercise in crude voter suppression and incompetence. Ohio '04 was a directed, successful effort to suppress voting favorable to Kerry. In Pennsylvania legislative leaders are openly admitting that their laws regarding voting are intended to help elect Romney: <http://www.politicspa.com/turzai-voter-id-law-means-romney-can-win-pa/37153/> "House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) suggested that the House’s end game in passing the Voter ID law was to benefit the GOP politically. “We are focused on making sure that we meet our obligations that we’ve talked about for years,” said Turzai in a speech to committee members Saturday. He mentioned the law among a laundry list of accomplishments made by the GOP-run legislature. “Pro-Second Amendment? The Castle Doctrine, it’s done. First pro-life legislation – abortion facility regulations – in 22 years, done. Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.”" Scott Brown, in Massachusetts is under the impression that measures meant to bring Massachusetts into compliance with federal law are "political maneuvering to benefit the Democrats" <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/10/scott-brown-elizabeth-warren-voter-registration_n_1766065.html> This is what fascists do to gain power. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
