And o the rain of greenbacks that fall upon the just and unjust alike, a rain more concentrated, more undeterrable than a woman scorned or even a fat kid in the presence of cake: a rain that dictates now and in the future, never shall one like Tancredo be anointed, however so many Confederates hallow his name.  

Verily in the Republican Party shall it forever and always remain the good ole boys of business winning out over the good old boys of the white.  But take heart, o rabble rousers.  Take heart.  

For always it shall be the Good.  Old.  Boys.  

Unfortunately, politicians and their supporters don't really want to fix the problems. They want only to add more problems that help them or burden the other side or ignore existing problems on the same basis.

  Let's get real. If the problem is otherwise eligible voters lacking identification, the proper solution is getting them identification not allowing people to vote without verifying who they are and that they are eligible to vote. It sounds more than a bit hypocritical to demand verifiable paper trails for the votes that are cast and to argue against verified paper trails to determine who is eligible to vote. Accurate counting of votes cast is good but so is accurate counting of who cast votes.

  It would seem impossible to argue against that on any principled basis.

   A few years ago Jimmy Carter and James Baker headed a committee that made several recommendations. Among the most important were to establish automatic universal registration of eligible voters, ensure people could obtain free identification and to require people to provide proof of identification to vote. It was DOA. Republicans won't get on board for universal registration and will make all sorts of spurious complaints because it would increase the eligible voting base of people likely to vote for Democrats and Democrats oppose requiring identification and verification of eligibility and make equally spurious complaints because they fear that will reduce their pool of voters.

  Neither side seems to care much about honest elections without unfair barriers. Each just seeks partisan advantage.

  Many other  nations have both universal registration and require proof of identity and have cleaner elections with higher turnouts.

 Pretending to be unaware of it just makes you sound like a dishonest or ignorant. I don't believe you are actually that ignorant, so I assume it is merely partisan driven dishonesty that makes you write such nonsense.

  If you prefer dishonest elections to reasonable steps to improve election integrity that is your choice. You and the partisan hacks on the other side can continue efforts push us down deeper.

   If you now want to spin that absurdly dishonest assertion into there is "no evidence of massive voter fraud," you are engaging in  clumsy and very unconvincing reframing.
