Sure, Donnie. Let's create a federal election system, create a new agency with a gazillion dollar budget, and issue a federal photo id to everybody.

Actually, no I wouldn't. But at least my eyes wouldn't be strained from rolling them so hard at the hypocrisy.

Any Democrat winning any race anywhere is "evidence" of voter fraud. Apparently.

What they really mean is that voting -- and especially vote counting -- should be left to the GOP.
