The thing is, voter suppression or vote tampering accusations have been pretty one-sided. I have heard SO many instances of vote suppression caused by Republicans that it is simply astounding. Some of it is clearly directed nationally (the RNC funded group that tore up Democratic registration forms). Other is probably done by individuals or small groups of people trying to stop people in traidtionally democratic areas in swing states from voting.
The accusations against the Dems seem to focus on basically inconsequential stuff, like stealing yard signs. It is true that a whole bunch of people register twice, and some even vote twice in different places, but that can hardly be blamed on the Democrats - something like 40% of people who do so vote Republican. It is a by-product of our state-by-state, disarrayed election system.
And believe me - I'm not saying this just as a partisan. I'm from Chicago, and I KNOW about the kind of shit that goes down here by the Democrats. But Illinois isn't a swing state. I'm just wondering if there are any legitimate instances of Democrat-led vote tampering efforts. If anyone has any, I'd be glad to see them.
