They've always pulled shenanigans with blue cities, closing precincts at the last minute, giving those areas old machines, guaranteed to break but yesterday they upped the ante. Dems were stupid for going along with the plot, they should have refused and taken the Repugs to court for last minute changes to long established voting patterns.

Dems are going to have to be lots more proactive!!!!
