An almost equally divided electorate can energize fierce efforts by some to convince illegal aliens and felons to vote. Others encourage double voting and even help the dead vote. Moral and ethical persons try establish that all votes cast are legal and fair. Problem with this process isn't that it's as important to establish that a vote is legal as voting itself, the problem is that many in the media and radical extremists attack anyone that tries to keep voting legal. The usual suspects are race baiters, democracy haters, and often radical left wing-nuts. Their sentiments are that any attempt to qualify or verify someone's identity and their legal right to vote is racist, abusive, and exclusionary. Say what?
Accusations vary such as some in Ohio where the police were called to a murder a block from a polling place. Race exploiters then claimed that the presence of the police intimidated voters.
Today's N Y Times leads again with its constant effort to attack those that follow the law as anti-democrats and racists. This time the opinion is written by Adam Cohen, a card-carrying, bomb throwing, anti-democracy basher. For Cohen, 'disenfranchisement' is the code word for the result of obeying the law. As obeying immigration laws is anti-immigrant bashing for the same dirt dishers.
America is a nation of lawful behavior that encourages opportunity for all. When a political movement frames it's values by encouraging lawless and illegal behavior, chaos and anarchy result. Shame on the perverse, dishonest, ill-informed, and abusive spewed by Adam Cohen.
