Fraud V

We Democrats know exactly what Secretary of State Scott Gessler is doing with his law suit challenging so-called 'inactive' voters of Denver. He is helping push a furtive and persistent nationwide Republican campaign to whittle down the number and influence of Democratic voters.
The Republicans warn eternally of election "fraud." Well, the truth is that there is no significant election fraud in Denver or anywhere else in Colorado, at least by Democrats. (The only person I know of who was convicted in recent times of double voting here was a suburban Republican.)
Gessler has filed suit to block the Denver election commission from mailing absentee ballots to voters who failed to t cast ballots in the general election of 2010 or in any election since. And they failed to return postcards asking them if they wanted to get a ballot.
So what?
Maybe they just had no interest in an unexciting congrssional election in 2010 or in later local ones. And maybe they don't bother with postcard solicitations in general.
I say if they were in good standing in the poll books after the 2008 presidential election, they're still in good standing and they deserve to get a ballot.
Who and where are these people? Denver Post maps show clusters in parts of the city that have concentrations of minority voters -- voters more likely than not to be Democrats. Many won't be voting absentee this time.
Well, shucks, in Gessler's GOP-establishment world, that's just how it goes. It can't be helped, and he accuses his critics of playing the "race card."
Gawd. That's brass for you. Gessler and the Republicans have been using a deck of race cards for years.
