I never claimed that those fliers came from Republican party operatives. Besides, the fliers are only one point in a larger issue. An easily provable point is that people have once again been incorrectly placed on the felon list.

The way the article is written it clearly implies that Republicans (Conservatives and Republicans are virtually interchangeable) are responsible:

Read it however you want, but no one has explicitly claimed that orders came from Republican HQ. There is a difference between conservative and Republican.

I am not defending the action I am simply pointing out that outrage directed at only one side when the other side implements similar tactics is completely disingenuous.
Discouraging voters from voting is abhorent and people should be outraged about it. The outrage should be directed at all who do it rather than only those who disagree with you who do it.

As I stated earlier, you are more than welcome to broaden the conversation. Let's hear how Republicans have been intimidated or wrongfully prevented from voting. Thankfully, the attempt to discount the military ballots was not succesfull, unlike some of the examples that we are mentioning. I'll happily complain about the disenfranchisment of any voter. Of course, it should be noted that diesnfranchisement seems to occur most heavily to poor members of minority communities.
Don't assume that everyone that disagrees with you is a partisan hack. I am not too fond of the Democratic party myself, but I agree with them more then the Repubs. Regardless of that, I do try to see both sides.
