You see FEL he wanted to talk about 'vote rigging' and never mind that his example was about republicans, and was a VERY poor example, he just expected us to just swallow it and talk about it.

If he wanted a debate on vote fraud without politics he should have found a real example of it, and better yet found examples of both parties doing it, or just written some original text of his own about his own thoughts on it without bringing in a party. Being a known liberal on the board, he could have posted an example of democrat vote fraud, and thereby shown a genuine concern with the question.

Instead he posts something politically charged, blatantly false and expects us all to discuss his topic without mentioning the evil 'R and D words'.

Personally I don't think you can talk about vote fraud, rigging, and buying in this country without talking about the parties since their accused 'methods' are very different.

Republicans are accused of using the police to scare away black voters, and posting fliers about the vote date being changed or how you can't vote if you are on welfare.

Democrats tend to be accused of having illegals vote, bussing in bums with the promise of cigarettes if they vote, getting retarded people to fill out ballots, and outright fraud at the polls (which btw is what that memo was all about).

How he expected people to NOT mention parties BUT discuss this is beyond me. What would we say, vote fraud is bad? Don't stuff the ballot box? Yea it sucks?

I’m sorry but if your main example is so badly flawed you can’t expect people to only play by your rules.
