**The Dems do have a history of sloppy voter fraud.**
>Unfortunately, the Republicans have a history of not doing anything about it. The Republicans and Rossi should stop mincing words.<
Umm, what the heck do you think these words are? Minced?
"People ask me what would fraud look like? It would look like this," said state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance.
"You simply can't have more votes counted than you have voters," Vance said. "The counties have to come up with a plausible explanation for this and if they don't this election is invalid on its face."
The Republicans have plenty of weaknesses. In this case, I'd suggest that one weakness they don't have is being spineless about contesting the election.

I did read those and explained in a longer post exactly why I thought they actually were a little too minced. I deleted most of the post b/c I've vowed to shorten them. I guess I fail at making my point in a few short words as many good Freepers seem to do so well.
Instead of
"People ask me what would fraud look like? It would look like this," said state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance.
I would have preferred something a little stronger like:
"This looks like voter fraud to me. If it is, we are going to insure that people go to jail. The Dems have to stop issuing incredibly ridiculous explanations for what appears to be pure criminal behavior. If this is truly criminal fraud as it appears to be, God help them. Our democracy and the American people won't stand for old Soviet style elections.
This gets the point across and still leave wiggle room. I concede that I missed the second quote.
I've been pretty frustrated with too much spinelessness on our part and perhaps assumed that we would cave on this attempted fraud. It appears that we are slowly growing a backbone. When I think about it, we put up a good fight in Florida in 2000 too. Maybe my frustration is merely displaced and ire should be directed at the actual criminals instead of the victim?
