I see all sorts of posts whining about Dem turnout
Edited on Sat May-21-11 10:17 AM by socialist_n_TN
RE: the WI SC election, the 2010 midterms, and actually going all the way back to the 2000 election. What I want to know is WHY do we have to have HUGE turnouts to even have a CHANCE to win an election? And even then it often doesn't work.

It seems implied in this complaint that IF the Dems don't turn out in massive numbers, that the election will be stolen if it's close. AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OK WITH THAT. Accept it as "the way it is" and just overcome it with turnout.

Are we supposed to be OK with Republicans winning EVERY close election, no matter HOW MANY IRREGULARITIES ARE FOUND?

1. Nobody wants to take me on about this?
Nobody wants to argue that most elections are "fair"? Anybody want to argue that stealing elections is NOT "the way it is"?
