A study by New York University Professor John Kane, published in the latest Public Opinion Quarterly found that Republicans have different attitudes about vote fraud than Democrats do.
"The gist of the findings are that Republicans are more concerned with election integrity while Democrats are more concerned with winning," Kane said. "In the battery of survey questions we asked, Republicans consistently came down in favor of integrity regardless of whether this would benefit their Party's candidates. In contrast, Democrats were less interested in integrity if it would mean fewer of their candidates would win."
J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation contends that "Kane's study understates the difference between the Parties. Democrats aren't just 'less interested' in integrity. They are flat out in favor of winning by whatever means necessary."
One of Kane's Democratic poll respondents appeared to confirm Adams' contention by pointing out that "strict adherence to majority rule should not impede the transformation to a progressive government. Lenin didn't balk at overthrowing a democratically elected government in order to achieve true socialism. If freely cast ballots stray from the path necessary to accomplish our goals supplementing them with correctly marked ballots is a less bloody method that our reactionary opponents ought to be more thankful we are using."
In related news, in an interview conducted by England's Prince Harry, former President Obama came out strongly against "the political anarchy spawned by the Internet and social media. It used to be expensive to communicate your message to millions of people. The cost excluded the masses from injecting their opinions into the stream of information. Now any yahoo with a phone and a finger can spout off whenever he wants. We need a way to cull the herd, so to speak, so that there's a more realistic opportunity to develop a universal source of information and opinion. Only then will the common people be united in support of those of us who govern them."

Too close to the truth. What they would like to say, but know they can’t.
Poor title. Learn the difference between election and voter fraud.
Any means necessary definitely sounds like Com, er, Democrats to me.
You should have added info about the consent decree that prevents ‘Pubbies from investigating vote fraud and the Democrat judge who comes out of retirement each year to renew it.
As usual this just sounds like what the left is really thinking!
Indeed. But in the mind of today’s leftists they see their side being in power as the “ultimate moral good”. Hence, that end justifies any and all means.
