They know there is no real fraud right now (granted, there has been in the past and could be in the future). The Republicans just want to shift the vote.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-87251117476941016272012-04-12T13:24:32.397-04:002012-04-12T13:24:32.397-04:00A basic rule of logic is that there are two kinds ...A basic rule of logic is that there are two kinds of error. In this case, we have (1) disallowing a legitimate voter to cast a ballot and (2) allowing an illegitimate voter to cast a ballot. Everytime you move the bar because you are scared of (2), you are going to increase (1). But given that increasing (1) goes against the bedrock principle of democracy everything should be done to avoid it. Of course, Republicans are not worried about (1), since it disproportionately targets the other party. <br /><br />If only they could retun to the days when only white male land-owners could vote, then they would be happy. Until then, bills like this just slowly chip away at the right of everyone to cast a ballot.SamStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310056245164582177noreply@blogger.com
