Republicans obviously cannot count votes so they intend to suppress the numbers

Opinion letter published in the Connecticut Journal Inquirer

In 2000, the presidential election between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, it was Vice President Gore who won the popular vote by some 500,000 votes. Nevertheless, the Republicans took the result in Florida to the Supreme Court and got Bush into the White House.

Voter suppression is grand larceny!

In the 2016, presidential election, Democrat Hillary Clinton beat Republican Donald Trump by some 2.9 million votes. However, Clinton lost the Electoral College and she conceded to Trump.

On neither occasion did the Democratic candidate urge violence against the winner and his voters, nor did their supporters attack the U.S. Capitol Building in a frightening and seditious attempt to overthrow the election results.

Furthermore, the Democrats did not, six months after the fact, hire a mysterious information technology firm to recount ballots in states their candidates lost in the feeble hope their guy would still take the White House.

For the most part, Democrats took their defeats like grown-ups and looked ahead to the next election. Meanwhile, supporters of Bush and Trump took vindictive pleasure in telling us, “You lost: Get over it.”


Is it asking too much that these people now follow their own advice?

Clearly, it is.
