So, the poor and elderly, besides getting the willies over the carrying of identification cards, also will be kept from voting by the presence of "officials" within the voting area?

Why do I get the feeling here that the Democrats are covering up much more than they let on?

Actually, when have the Democrats ever cared about the poor, the elderly and minorities except when it comes time to tally votes?

Harper's Weekly cartoon, 1968 - same corruption with the same tactics...

"This cartoon accuses Democrats of engaging in vote fraud; in this case, grants of citizenship prior to the end of the legally required waiting period, and repeat voting. The new recruit is of course a working-class Irish-American, who could be working for money (offered by the figure second from the left?), alcohol (note the whiskey bottle), patronage, or other benefits. The portraits on the wall are of Frank Blair and Horatio Seymour (top, l-r), the Democratic national ticket, and John Hoffman (bottom), the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in New York."
