That is exactly the kind of "malarky," as Joe would say, that the Republicans would think of doing. If it didn't also have the possibility of keeping Dems from voting, I would say your idea is brilliant.

On second thought, although it is a brilliant idea, do we really want to stoop to their level? I feel like we Democrats are the only ones keeping the American standards of decency and fair play intact at this point.
