The point isn't whether or not Democrats can do it as well as Republicans. The point is that it contributes to the breakdown of the election system and is completely amoral. Also, only Republicans do this because it is a stalling tactic: the goal isn't really to throw these votes out, or have certain people banned from voting. The goal is to slow down the lines at polling places to such an extent that voters who tend Democratic will give up and not vote because it takes too long. Since Republican voters tend to be wealthier and less likely to have to get back to work, get back to tend to kids who don't have a babysitter, etc., Democrats find this tactic relatively useless. That is the real point.
