least talking about it??

They should at LEAST make a show of being mortified by this undemocratic behavior by red states with red Secretaries of State. You have to be outraged...otherwise rank and file dems will wonder why they are donating, volunteering, voting, supporting, etc.. This undercuts all the efforts....

2004 and 2008...it was the Secretary of State in Ohio who was the gop campaign chair who under-supplied voting booths in democratic areas and probably help tip the scales in a critical state. There were 6-8 hour lines to vote in some places. In 2000 it was Florida, same thing with caging and recounts. How come this hasn't been fixed?

This has to be met with multi-pronged, vigorous opposition. Dem leaders have to be on TV everyday....citizens have to be organized....and since I imagine it's easy to allege illegality or unconstitutionality lawsuits have to be filed ASAP. Dem leaders have to approach gop leaders and show them what's going on and get coordinated denouncing of the practice.

This is starting to be as frustrating as when we all knew there were problems in 2004 and dems were outraged but did nothing about it except write letters and collect petitions until coming into power in 2006....and then they stopped doing even that.
