Voter Suppression: Both sides do it (except they don't)

[cthulu2016]

(Reuters) - In Florida, Virginia and Indiana, voters have received phone calls that wrongly told them there was no need to cast a ballot in person on Election Day because they could vote by phone...

They also cite groups linked to the conservative Tea Party movement that are training tens of thousands of people to monitor polling places on November 6 for voter fraud.

But Republicans also have been behind some of the complaints, which have been focused largely on the eight or so politically divided swing states that are likely to decide the race between Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama.

Yes, when Republican operations engage in widespread election fraud they do occasionally call someone who happens to be a Republican. So fucking what?

The point is that the calls, whoever receives them, are made by Republican political operatives for the purpose of preventing people from voting.

The fact that Republicans occasionally accidentally call a Republican voter while targeting minorities and the poor does not mean that both sides do it.
