1. "Now is not the time"

Well, that's hardly reassuring. Translation: "We're not going to cheat now. We'll just wait until nobody's watching (or we don't have to stand for re-election anytime soon) and THEN do it!" We need to make damned sure we get our voters to the polls in 2014 so that they don't have another opportunity to rig them right before the Presidential election in 2016. Remember, most of the voter ID and other disenfranchisement laws didn't get enacted until 2011 and then we (barely) had any time to challenge them in the courts and get things in order to fight them before the 2012 election and, based on the evidence, we still lost a lot of would-be voters to disenfranchisement (i.e. Florida).
