It was one of the best scenes. The tragedy of that film is that the whole did not live up to the first 15 minutes.

Nobody is predicting this. Please fuck right off.

This is bullshit. But remember, they're asking Cletus and Cornbread to show up in an all black inner city precinct. I think recruitment and follow up may be a problem for them.

Actblue has ways to donate to the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, and a PAC called Let America Vote.

In 1956, Eisenhower said "If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power."

I've been a poll worker and one of the best ways for these numbnuts to see what happens in an election is for them to be poll workers. It's long, boring hours of checking in people's names and handing them ballots, letting them fill in those ballots, and then putting them in the box to be counted. There's always one person of each party plus the location manager or deputy to watch over anything sensitive. If there's any question about someone's registration or address they go to the provisional table where the votes are kept separate. Poll workers don't count the votes, inspect ballots, or even handle marked ballots - they simply facilitate the voting process. Any poll worker who disrupts that process is dismissed and could be committing a felony.

Also, all of the people of any party that I've met who actually work the polls are very, very proud of the work they do to insure that everyone gets the opportunity to vote. We would not take kindly to someone interfering in that process. The people on the board of elections are pretty serious about that, too.

Sounds about right, plus they said the quiet part out loud again.

Also, since when did truth ever enter into the picture when Rethugs want to demonize someone or something?

Pairs nicely with the post about Britain and its monarchy.

There is something to the idea that people tend to believe other people think the way they do. But also, Rethugs are cynical, lying bastards whose only goal in life is to "win" elections and increase their own power and money.

Y'know,I gotta say I've really enjoyed all the comments people have made here against a troll, but it's a little frustrating because I keep wondering what said troll posted in the first place.

"American voters want bipartisan poll-watching"I work as a 'poll watcher'. We have to have members of both parties at every poll. These idiots need to volunteer so they understand how our election systems work. Fucking morons.

It's a demon control problem. We sold our souls to the devil for votes and they're doing all the sneaky stuff.

Too bad we don’t have a functional DOJ to do a RICO on the RNC.
