And I guess they figure 30 years is long enough ago that nobody will be able to check them. Of course, I imagine a good number of the conspiracists weren’t born 30 years ago.
Of course, the like a good conspiracy, it has vague generalities to keep from getting tripped up in the pesky reality of details. So “the GOP” made a deal with “the Democrats” “30 years ago” (That is 1982, 2 years into the great President Ronald Reagan’s 8 year presidential term).
You apparently don't understand federal judges, or "consent decrees".
When I read the whole article, my antenna went up, because I have been following vote fraud AND federal judges for quite a few years.
You need to read it again, and figure out what a malevolent partisan looney tune federal judge can do with a "consent decree".
The IBM Corporation was TORTURED for nearly 40 years by a nutcase federal judge who initially ruled on punch card technology issues in 1952, but was tormenting them over advanced computing issues in 1990. We got another live one with this Debevoise guy, who implemented the consent decree in 1982, and thirty freaking years later, he comes back annually to renew the consent decree.
He's 88 years old, BTW - a Democrat gift from Peanut Boy Carter that keeps on giving.
The consent decree had no expiration date. Why would have have to come back every year to renew it?
And now that it was re-litigated in 2010, it has an expiration date of 2018, and unless the GOP does something to violate it, the decree will be gone.
The decree has never stopped the GOP from doing anything, becuase the RNC has never submitted a plan for approval. SO there’s again been no reason for the judge to do anything, because the RNC didn’t bring anything to him for him to do.
Of course, the consent decree isn’t a “deal” between the RNC and DNC to ignore voter fraud.
