Yep, 14 year since the gop pulled out a close one. You will NEVER convince me that cheating does not go on in the cities that puts dems barely over the finish line. Like I said, there are folks that are so tied financially to who wins (due to welfare cuts, food stamps, etc), that they will risk jail time to vote more than once. And that is why you see precincts in NOLA and Philly have 150% voter turnout.
