NO. Well, er, yes.. we probably should abandon the issue, if only temporarily from a strategic perspective. BUT, while counterproductive, it IS CORRECT.
It's been correct starting from the day that the property-owner-ONLY vote was taken away, well over a hundred years ago. And since then, it's just the matter of degree. By giving non-property-owners votes, it just enables the Franklin maxim about being a republic up until the day that the public realizes they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
I will say this about Franklin - he was slightly wrong about his grammar. It's not like a switch gets turned once the public figures this out. No, it's a steady progression, from the day that the taxpayer property-owner vote started to be watered down. The only real change is the point at which it is realized. It's another issue for discussion as to if that realization point is before or after the point at which anything short of civil war can be done about it.

I don’t expect or even want the Republican Party to take on this issue. In the first place, if they did it they’d only bungle it more. More importantly, Republicans have NO real interest in ending election fraud. If they did, it would have been tackled in the last 50 years.
I am interested in understanding for myself just what happened in 2012 and HOW they did it and sharing that with people who are similarly interested. I just don’t like being in the dark and FWIW I think the Republican Party deliberately covers up this issue because they prefer their “little people” to be in the dark on this issue.
