Democrats have been screaming about Republican efforts to suppress the vote, primarily in Red States. Democrats are 100% correct in doing so. It's a danger to democracy.
Today I’d like to talk, perhaps for the last time, about election fraud.
[EDIT: It won't be the last time, because, try as I might, I couldn't get everything into this essay. Even though it's as long as Moby Dick.]
Assuming that this radical statement is true, consider the widespread voter suppression.
For decades we've heard the Democrats yell and scream and shed crocodile tears about the GOP's voter suppression efforts. Yet for some reason, the Democrats never seemed to be able to do anything about it.
The reason for the Democrats inability to fight back on this issue is extremely simple: They are hypocrites.

As the political waters become murkier and murkier, in most every direction at the moment, it becomes more and more incumbent on us to be ever vigilant citizen watchdogs and journalists. We must watch closely those who we we're inclined to think of as allies.
Said by Le Monde Diplomatique under the title [please read the whole piece it is excellent, accurate and well written]
I don't need to tell you that Hurricane Matthew is a monster storm. It cut a path of terrible destruction through the Caribbean, particularly Haiti. The death toll there is surging into the hundreds. Then it pummeled Florida, where President Obama declared a state of emergency on Thursday. Governor Rick Scott has refused to extend the voter registration deadline of October 11th, a ploy to ensure that many potential voters never make it to the polls.

Sigh. I had really wanted my first essay here to be more substantive, but I wanted to share this and hadn't seen anyone else post it.
Admittedly it is a little second hand but if true could be good news.
The election is NOT over, and I am still supporting Bernie Sanders.
I made a donation today, as I have done either before or after every primary. And that is on top of the donation that I make automatically once a month. Please consider doing the same. Continuing to donate helps to send a message that we intend to support Bernie Sanders all the way to the convention.
