Golly, this is so "show me the man and I'll find you the crime" going on here. Are liberals actually too stupid to know when the vote is?

- sp332 8y agoThe upcoming midterm elections are expected to be very close, with low turnout favoring Republicans. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/democratic-lead-continues-to-grow-in-race-for-house-cbs-news-poll-battleground-tracker/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/democratic-lead-continues-to-gr... So a strategy for Republicans lately is to reduce turnout. Voter roll purges, disenfranchisement of felons, stricter voter ID laws, and closing polling stations are some legal ways to reduce turnout. Groups that are less concerned about appearing above-board use lies as a cheap way to nudge close elections. Spreading misinformation is effective enough that even well-funded fraud campaigns do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fraud#Disinformation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fraud#Disinformation High turnout tends to favor Democrats, so they are less motivated to engage in this particular kind of election fraud. I don't think that makes them smarter or dumber.
- castlecrasher2 8y agoElection fraud? Are you serious? Your response is pretty much the essence of why this meme is a huge hit: because it's true. It's like the left is just jealous they can't meme and aren't funny anymore.

- sp332 8y agoI'm not sure if you're arguing that posting lies about voting dates isn't fraud, or that this instance doesn't count because it's posted by a joke site.
