If they don't, it won't be for lack of trying.


High voter turnout was crucial to Obamas victory in 2008.


Low turnout produced the Tea-orist House majority that is currently holding America hostage.


Most political experts agree that Pennsylvania is a must-win state in the 2012 presidential election.

But a proposal set to go before the state Senate would change the formula for how the state changes to either red or blue.

Republican state Sen. Dominic Pileggi, who represents part of Chester and Delaware counties, is drafting a proposal that would split Electoral College votes in Pennsylvania by congressional district.

Currently whichever presidential candidate wins Pennsylvania receives all of the electoral votes.

A major probe by the Justice Department between 2002 and 2007 failed to prosecute a single person for going to the polls and impersonating an eligible voter, which the anti-fraud laws are supposedly designed to stop.


Out of the 300 million votes cast in that period, federal prosecutors convicted only 86 people for voter fraud.


A much-hyped investigation in Wisconsin, meanwhile, led to the prosecution of only .0007 percent of the local electorate for alleged voter fraud.


"Our democracy is under siege from an enemy so small it could be hiding anywhere," joked Stephen Colbert.

After taking power, the Bush administration declared war on voter fraud, making it a "top priority" for federal prosecutors.


In 2006, the Justice Department fired two U.S. attorneys who refused to pursue trumped-up cases of voter fraud in New Mexico and Washington, and Karl Rove called illegal voting "an enormous and growing problem."


In parts of America, he told the Republican National Lawyers Association, "we are beginning to look like we have elections like those run in countries where the guys in charge are colonels in mirrored sunglasses."


According to the GOP, community organizers like ACORN were actively recruiting armies of fake voters to misrepresent themselves at the polls and cast illegal ballots for the Democrats.


Even at the time, there was no evidence to back up such outlandish claims.

GOP outcries over the phantom menace of voter fraud escalated after 2008, when Obama's candidacy attracted historic numbers of first-time voters.


In the 29 states that record party affiliation, roughly two-thirds of new voters registered as Democrats in 2007 and 2008 – and Obama won nearly 70 percent of their votes.


In Florida alone, Democrats added more than 600,000 new voters in the run-up to the 2008 election, and those who went to the polls favored Obama over John McCain by 19 points.

I thought the liberals wanted the election of the president to be more democratic, and that getting rid of the electoral college is a good idea. They've been harping on the idea since Bush took the WH in 2000 despite losing the popular vote. Yet when a republican proposes a split of electoral votes according to congressional district, it's because they want to cheat. Of course, you completely ignore that if Florida had the proposed law in 2000, Gore would have won the WH, hanging chads or no hanging chads. And, what if this law passes, and in the genral election in 2012, the republican candidate beats Obama by a few thousand votes. The law could well end up being an advantage to Obama as it could be to a republican challenger.

Fucking, lying, brain dead hypocrites. And you wonder why the people are rejecting your political philosophy? Because the fucking bunch of you act like spoiled 3 year olds.

Far more democratic controlled states are considering laws which would, effectively, bypass the design and intent of the electoral college, to include CA, CO, WA, NY. In fact, just a few months ago, CA PASSED a law which requires all of CA electoral votes to go to the winner of the national popular vote, with the qualifying clause that enough states to represent at least 270 electoral votes must also pass similar laws for it to go into effect.

In short, the democrats are.

So shove that up your lying twat.

After the recount debacle in Florida in 2000, allowing voters to cast their ballots early emerged as a popular bipartisan reform.


Early voting not only meant shorter lines on Election Day, it has helped boost turnout in a number of states – the true measure of a successful democracy.


"I think it's great," Jeb Bush said in 2004. "It's another reform we added that has helped provide access to the polls and provide a convenience, and we're going to have a high voter turnout here, and I think that's wonderful."

But Republican support for early voting vanished after Obama utilized it as a key part of his strategy in 2008.


Nearly 30 percent of the electorate voted early that year, and they favored Obama over McCain by 10 points.


The strategy proved especially effective in Florida, where blacks outnumbered whites by two to one among early voters, and in Ohio, where Obama received fewer votes than McCain on Election Day but ended up winning by 263,000 ballots, thanks to his advantage among early voters in urban areas like Cleveland and Columbus.


That may explain why both Florida and Ohio – which now have conservative Republican governors – have dramatically curtailed early voting for 2012.


Next year, early voting will be cut from 14 to eight days in Florida and from 35 to 11 days in Ohio, with limited hours on weekends.


In addition, both states banned voting on the Sunday before the election – a day when black churches historically mobilize their constituents.


Once again, there appears to be nothing to justify the changes other than pure politics.


"There is no evidence that any form of convenience voting has led to higher levels of fraud," reports the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College.

I have shown ample proof that the Republicans are planning to steal the next election by legislating new ways of discouraging voters, changing the way the electoral vote counts in Pennsylvania, etc.

All Americans should be concerned.
