Actually, that’s is something I would like to actually see; some piece of physical evidence that the Republicans are doing exactly what many partisan hand-wringers _claim_ that they are doing.

It does occasionally happen, but don’t hold your breath, pal. You’ll wind up looking like this :eek: .

You do know that Ohio Sec. of State Ken Blackwell (R) agreed with Judge Susan Dlott’s (D) decision stopping the Republican challenges to Ohio voters, yes? On the basis that it was jamming up the works and might wind up disenfranchising tens of thousands of voters?

You did know that, yes?

I mean: what a fucking asshole! How dare he demand that people get the fucking right to goddamned VOTE! It just goes to prove that ALL REPUBLICANS ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES!
