I must also admit that I find it rather amusing that your proof for voter fraud happening today is based on something that Boss Tweed did a century and a half ago. Well you want to know what else ********s did in the 19th Century? Read on.
They put white hoods on and used violence to chase black folks away from the polls. And when that wasn't good enough they used poll taxes and literacy test to keep blacks from voting. Then they just simply used the Grandfather Clause. Which was if your grand daddy was not allowed to vote then you couldn't vote.
If its not already obvious most of the newly enfranchised blacks had been ****** and therefore so were their grand pops. And that all occurred after the Fifteenth ********* had already been ratified. In reality the Black Codes simply replaced the Slave Codes. So no voting for them regardless of what the law of the land had to say.
With that said. The point I was trying to make was that anyone with any amount of knowledge on US politics knows that the GOP is no longer the Party of Lincoln. And the parties have somewhat switched political ideology.
As for Chad. The only reason I mentioned it was because there were obvious issues back in 2000 that still resonate today twelve years after the fact. That is with all this nonsense about voter fraud and therefore we need IDs blah blah blah. When in reality there is no proof of any major voter fraud. And it is really no more then a cheap ploy to disenfranchise voters.
