Everybody’s known about Broward corruption for decades. When Florida had Republican governors and Republican legislatures, why didn’t they go in and clean them out? Because they are ALL feed at the same trough.

Same goes for other states, example, Pennsylvania. There were Republican governors and legislatures, yet Phila and Pittsburgh get away with reporting more votes than people who live there, and it never gets investigated let alone cleaned up. That is not unintentional.

It’s all a sick joke, has been for decades, and will continue to be, until the People have had enough, and take it back. Or, onward to hard tyranny.

To a degree I will agree with you, but Nixon played a huge role in that too. Why do I say that? Because of his attempts to cover up Watergate, he turned a 3rd rate burglary into something much larger.

It was something both sides were guilty of doing, trying to get information as to what the opposition party was up to. Most of the time it required illegal, or at best unethical measures to accomplish. The Republicans managed to get caught, and Nixon made it worse than it should have been.

That was the turning point of the press to the Democrat party. So from that point on they were afraid to do anything that would make the Democrats retaliate in kind when they were in power, for they had the press on their side.

Republicans had not held the majority in the House for forty years, since the 83rd Congress (elected in 1952). Republicans only controlled 4 years of both House and Senate from 1933 to 1995.

In the 1994 midterm elections, large Republican gains were finally made in state houses as well, when the GOP picked up twelve gubernatorial seats and 472 legislative seats. In so doing, it took control of 20 state legislatures from the Democrats. Prior to this, Republicans had not held the majority of governorships since 1972. So in addition, this was the first time in 50 years that the GOP controlled a majority of state legislatures.

In a 1981 lawsuit to stop the RNC from engaging in certain practices at the polls, the Democratic National Committee attested that in a New Jersey gubernatorial election, the RNC had sent sample ballots to communities of color, and then had the names for each ballot returned as undeliverable removed from voter rolls. Democrats also alleged that the RNC hired off-duty cops to patrol majority-minority precincts, wearing “National Ballot Security Task Force” armbands. These details were enough to secure a consent decree between the two party organizations and the court in 1982, stopping the GOP from engaging in such voter-intimidation practices. That decree was finally lifted this year, 2018, after 35 years.

So you can see why the Republican Party has been gun shy as the saying goes. The GOP was reluctant to pull on Superman's cape so to speak. They had been out of power for a long time, the press was on their side, and even the courts ruled against the Republican Party.

But it's way past time that the Republicans find their backbone to start fighting back against this blatant fraud & corruption in the election process promulgated by the Democrats.

Party divisions and control of the house and senate.pdf But it's is way past time for them to fight back, before they totally destroy this country.
