Rigging the 2012 Elections.
I knew the Repubs. are going to go all out at rigging the 2012 elections. Come hell
or high water they're going to complete this time what G. W. Bush had started, but
couldn't finish -- turning this nation of ours into a dictatorship.

So the Repubs. have already begun to make things as "legal" as possible as they try to
prevent certain people from voting. Here's an article by E. J. Dionne, Jr.

5. a clip...
"In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court, by 6-3, upheld Indiana’s voter ID statute. So seeking judicial relief may be difficult. Nonetheless, the Justice Department should vigorously challenge these laws, particularly in states covered by the Voting Rights Act. And the court should be asked to review the issue again in light of new evidence that these laws have a real impact in restricting the rights of particular voter groups."
