If anything, this will continue to dry up the voter fraud.

Words of encouragement. Public sector unions, including the USPS should never have existed.

What do you call 400,000 union jobs lost? A good start.

Don’t let up. Continue to push for right to work laws in your state. Dry up the money train, begin to have a chance again.

I personally believe that was the real driving force behind right to work in Michigan. You can try to pick off individual fraudsters here and there but it takes years and real effective punishment is rare. Better to go after the much needed money it takes to fund it and Michigan unions provide some $250 million to democrats every year.
I wish a couple more states would go on the offense and do the same as a means of dividing democrat forces. It really made Obama look damn weak and impotent in Michigan.

I hear the violins right now.
Unfortunately union members vote multiple times to more than offset the decline.

Regardless, with Obozo in power, they will do just fine...

Ain’t that the truth. The jobs may be going but the slush funds are still active.

The reason that Democrats (and Republicans, too) push so hard for infrastructure spending is that any project that receives any federal funding must specify union only jobs, not just union, but prevailing wages. In WA State, the stimulus money that was supposed to go for insulating homes, putting in thermapane windows, etc, was shut down over the fact that WA prevailing wages were not as high as NY prevailing wages. All the money was spent, but only two homes were actually insulated.

Why bother? No one likes union goons except white liberal elites. Goons can be useful for totalitarians. They wash each other's filthy hands...
The industries unions have taken over tend to die or get shipped overseas. Except government workers - and that's where the battle's going to be joined. As the United States starts paying the price for being broke, government union members will be pitted against the taxpayers they're robbing. That's going to get ugly.
Watching those in the beltway living high on the hog while real people are paid much less for equal work is not going to sit well...
