Democrats were committing vote fraud all the way back to Jackson or even before. In the 1940s, insane asylums and cemeteries almost had “open houses” on election day because of the Democrats showing up to vote the mad and the dead.
In fact it became so terribly institutionalized during the reign of “Old Frank” Roosevelt that Republicans were even afraid to challenge grotesque vote fraud. Most of the time they just pretended to be “above” such gutter politics, but the truth was they were scared. Had they resisted, they would have been beaten by goons, and then arrested.
Republicans desperately crave honest elections, because they know if they ever got them, they would wipe the floor with the Democrats. This is why the recent SCOTUS voter rights decision is so important.
More proof that the GOP has no spine and guts. Cruz, Gowdy, Lee, and a handful of other Republicans are worthy of being in DC representing us. The rest are a disgrace.
