Don't strain your brain assumping you know what I'm thinking. The Republicans are wimps in that they have not raised cain about the vote fraud. It's obvious to anyone that it was the Demoncrats that stuffed ballot boxes from Florida to San Francisco, that is most likely how Hillary nailed her Senate seat.

Enligthen me, did I miss the Republican party yelling foul over this? Did I miss them demanding, pointing fingers, and bulling the Democrats into passing effective legislation to insure it doesn't happen again? So why haven't they? Because they whimp out on any confrontation with Democrats.

The Republicans have wanted to do their anti-fraud legislating with the very minimum of publicity.
So why haven't they? Because they whimp out on any confrontation with Democrats.
And that is simply because journalism is defacto part--indeed the linchpin--of the Democratic Party. You tell me--Republicans ask for a system in which voting is as easy as presenting a credit card at the checkout counter, and the Democrats counter that the Republicans want to reinstate the poll tax. Logically it makes no sense, but the people who decide elections--Democrats who decide to turn out or not, others who can decide to vote R or D--can actually be moved by claims as stupid as that.

And THAT is why "Republicans wimp out."
