During a newspaper strike, New York Mayor LaGuardia read the Sunday funnies over the radio. In that tradition I’ll bring you one of today’s strips.
“Doonesbury” features an interview with “an honest man.” He discusses the voter I.D. bills Republican legislators are pushing in state after state. He also points out that the Bush Department of Justice found voter fraud to be almost nonexistent.
In the next panel he says this: “Republicans should make the case on its merits! We don’t give a flying fig about ‘fraud.’! We just want to suppress turn-out of Democrats to keep the wrong kind of people from voting!”
“For the love of god, show some spine! If we’re gonna try to steal elections, we shouldn’t make it worse by insulting voters’ intelligence!”
Exactly. Gov. Corbett and the Pennsylvania Republican legislators know that fraud is not a problem. They know their purpose is to suppress votes. Why can’t they at least be honest about it?
