Let's compare and contrast, shall we?
When Republicans want to rig a vote, they take the long approach. Four years out, they isolate the critical state, then make sure the governor is related to the candidate you haven't picked yet. Next, you enlist a Democrat election official to design a ballot that is so diabolically twisted that the average state resident can't figure it out. Then you make sure that the ballot is ratified by those same voters. Then, you stack the election boards with loyal Democrats who for some reason will work for you, their political rivals. Finally,you persuade the previous President to stack the Supreme court in your favor.
If you're a Democrat,you just change the numbers so the vote count equals what you want it to be.
Remember kids, a vote isn't final until you win.
Interestingly, the vote was on whether or not to allow illegal aliens to get federal aid destined for American farmers. House Republicans think that's a bad idea. Democrats must like it.
