http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/80759.htmlsnip
If the Democrats can maintain the enthusiasm for three days that we have seen thus far in their convention, Mitt Romney will have a serious problem in attaining the presidency. He will need at least three things:
1. A superlative performance in all three of his debates with Barack Obama in October.
2. An extraordinary get-out-the-vote effort on Election Day.
3. An effective voter suppression campaign to keep minorities and young people from casting their ballots.

Did you read #3? He lists it as if it is not a (near) criminal offense....
