We must stress the need for everyone to pay attention to state elections. The fact that any Governor may want to purge or suppress voters is now becoming solely a repuklican way to win an election. This cannot happen as effortlessly as we've seen when there are democratic or independent Secretaries of State to keep these voter ID laws from infecting the elections by keeping those from exercising their right to vote!

Give us a little credit. We can think about more than one thing at a time and not lose focus. OldDem2012 Oct 2012 #8
