Until Leading Democrats Do THIS In Unison, we are all up shit creek without a paddle

You name it. We all know the sorry list ..

Climate change come-a-cropper (which Noam Chompski thinks is more pressing than ANYthing right now),
endless wars in the ME, Wall Street still unleashed, etc. etc. <--- WE ARE ALL ROYALLY SCREWED!!

Democrats won't even take the tiniest baby step towards owning-up to the crises we face.
Exhibit A: One such necessary baby-step would be to put a permanent end to blatent GOP
election fraud and buggering once-and-for-all. http://projects.aljazeera.com/2014/double-voters/

It will be messy and balls-to-the-wall for sure, for them to even try to do such a thing. But IMHO this
is an even more immediate, albeit shorter-term, crisis than climate change.

Until Dems uniformly do this, why focus on anything else?

1. I think the key is to get the message out to people that someone is stealing something from them-

people vote if they think someone is trying to stop them from voting, but will ignore election day if they think there's no problem.

And this is not rocket science .. there are buried bodies in so many states, such as Ohio & Florida and now Texas with it's Voter ID laws. .. and it is all a matter of public record thanks to the likes of Greg Palast and Brad's Blog, who have doggedly documented the utterly fraudulent misdeeds and felonious crimes of the ReThugs related to election buggery. All it takes is a little effort to pick up on the good work of Palast and BradsBlog, plus an extensive investigative 2004 report during the One Hundred Eighth Congress by the House Committee on the Judiciary: http://www.globalresearch.ca/election-fraud-in-ohio-investigated-by-the-us-congress/284?print=1

8. It nearly always backfires. Tell someone that the other side

Is doing everything it can to stop the vote and people come out to show defiance not cower in a corner. No line is too long.

Election fraud tactics don't really work so well but the gerrymandering and poll tax are a different story.

3. What you said!

Hey Dems...get the hell out and VOTE!

4. Totally! ...AND

Please make sure your elected Dems press hard for prosecuting election fraud by ReThugs to the full extent of the law.

5. Yep

I have spent many an hour and much political capital in my area and on DU to defeat the theft of votes via computerized vote counters.

There has been some success, but not enough.

Most people just won't pay attention to this MOST serious matter.

Having done that, I pretty much have said to hell with it. Oh, I'll vote on paper that I fought for starting in 2004, but the paper is still counted by a computer owned by a republican company.

If anyone asks me was the vote counted correctly, I do not lie. I tell them this: Probably not.

6. u-huh

I've been studying this felonious GOP elephant in the Living Room since early 2000's.

The ReThugs somehow managed to deflect and redirect the conversation to focus on
accusing the Democrats and their allies of "voter fraud" AKA the ACORN debacle.

And this ridiculous transparently bogus canard continue until this day, see Texas ID Card
requirement, happening under the banner of "war on voter fraud"
