    The Democratic pols are certainly concerned about it, but nothing's been done so far.
    Serious question, Mr. Niblick: What specifically is being done to suppress the Democratic vote?

    You're not worried Jack, and you're not thinking about the serious voter suppression issues either.

    Are you following that story at all? It's huge and it's real.

    No one's being suppressed.

    Get off your lazy ass and go vote like the rest of us do.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's a whole litany of things, all of which have been very prominent in the news.

    In presidential elections specifically, the state electors to the electoral college can ignore the vote altogether and vote as they choose.
    The US Constitution it must be noted, is perfectly OK with this. States can use their allotted electoral votes however they choose to do so locally.
    If the Republicans control the state government, they can do whatever they want.
    And the local districts are gerrymandered so that Republicans will always control those state legislatures.

    Monosodium Glutamate can sometimes be good at reading between the lines, I admit,

    but misquoting people is still a bitch move.

    Changing peoples' quotes is, in many cases, more morally perverse than murder.
    A good way of changing quotes would have been to change your "whom" to a grammatically correct "who,' but then I'd be doing that against which I'm preaching.
