This is what actual voter suppression looks like, and it's appalling.

Donald Trump regularly tells his supporters that the election has been rigged against him, and on Monday he accused Hillary Clinton’s campaign of utilizing a “voter suppression technique” that involved manipulating polls. (Politifact rated his claim “pants on fire” false.)

But with early voting now underway in several states, the real-world effects of actual (and very consequential) voter suppression have begun to bubble up.

Exhibit A is North Carolina, where in recent months reporters discovered that state Republican leaders had sent emails directing GOP appointees on local elections boards to “make party line changes” to limit early voting.

In one message, titled “CRITICAL and CONFIDENTIAL,” a Republican district chairman urged election officials to offer only one early voting site for the minimum hours allowed by law, so as not to give Democrats an advantage.

1. Republican leaders are scum. This is a prime example. How anti-American, how treasonous! Disgraceful

2. It's all they have. They have no agenda, they have nothing but hate as motivation

or, God help us, Jesus. And they have no leaders or candidates who are human enough to get people to vote for the vile Republican plan. That's how Trump got in: the Republican Party couldn't field one decent presidential candidate.

GOP is nothing now but a cult, and a small one. They have to cheat to stay in power, any way they can. They cheat in Congress, they cheat as diplomats, executives and judges, and they cheat at the polls. It's a proven fact. The Dems are so numerous they don't have to cheat. They only have to vote. It's cold stone logic.

Cheating has been the sole RW strategy since Watergate, after which they felt entitled to cheat because Dems beat them so badly on character after they won on wartime votes (Viet Nam dragged out for Nixon re-elect by Kissinger. )

We caught them at it, and they have been our mortal enemies ever since (if not before--but that's another story. )

3. The good news is...

Corruption is not sustainable. As a business model it is destined to fail from inception. The GOP is learning this lesson the hard way.
