You seem to have forgotten a few things:

You idiot.

Back at you!

No one is alleged to have voted or be planning to vote with any false registrations. No votes at all were made.

Come on, now: there is no other reason to register hundreds and hundreds of fake people than to walk up to that precinct's polling place (where you don't have to show ID!) and then vote. If, as in the cases like ACORN, you've got a handful of people creating registrations that will allow people to walk up and vote, you've got two outcomes: either they and their associates get to cast multiple votes, or they get to claim that they were cut from the lists, in a PR move to cast doubt on results. In the example cited above, and hundreds of others if you bother to look, you've got double-voters, dead voters, voters with non-existent SSNs, and so on. Do you really think that, year after year, people (who do nothing but deal with voting issues for their parties!) would continue to do this if there was no connection between creating bogus registrations and then actually using them?

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm not saying that every republican is a hypocrite. Indeed, that would be a logical fallacy.

What I'm saying is that time after time, high-profile republicans, which run on a platforms of traditional values, have repeatedly demonstrated that, privately, such values aren't important to them at all. This should cast doubt upon the party's position that it is a beacon of morality in American politics

The "facts" listed in that article are all exaggerated, selective or distorted.

No examples spring to mind, eh?

I notice he didn't mention how the only actual convictions for interfering with the Ohio elections were Democrats charged with vandalizing Republican campaign sites and vehicles.

Hm, there's nothing like that out on news.google.com, but just searching the web, I turned up this impressive looking report at the "American Center for Voting Rights": Five Democrat Operatives In Milwaukee Charged With Slashing Tires Of Republican Vans On Morning Of Election Day

That sounds like a believably nasty little election dirty trick, but doesn't it seem peculiar that google news can't find any reports on the subject?

I tried googling up the "American Center for Voting Rights" itself. It appears that there's some bloggers who are convinced this is a bogus front group: ACVR, The Mystery Solved

So, my friend... it would appear that you have been swift-boated... (unless you're just trying to swift-boat us, eh?).

Check out this report on the 2004 election cycle. http://www.ac4vr.com/reports/072005/default.html

vote rigging scandals ... that we get from the Republicans

Vote rigging? I ask because every time somebody hollers disenfranchisement, it's a Democrat. Fortunately, every time I've read about dead people, convicted felons or illegal immigrants voting, voting tours across multiple precincts, underage voting (see part (B)), and pushes for voting without identification, they always seem to be voting for Democrats, so in the end it all balances out, doesn't it? ...if not, I can keep going.

You don't have to belive everything The Party tells you, comrade.
