What if there were a Democratic Secretary of State who was also the leader of Kerry's campaign?

What if that SoS went out of his or her way to stymie the vote in Republican suburbs and/or rural areas by banning the distribution of campaign literature, including the notorious "voter guides", in or within 1000 feet of a church?

What if this Democratic SoS intentionally gave these voters misleading directions to their polling places, so that the voters couldn't find their proper polling spot, for the sole purpose of suppressing the Republican vote?

What if that same SoS put too few--and malfunctioning--voting machines in suburban/rural areas where he or she knew the electorate was predominantly evangelical? What if the malfunctioning machines caused long lines in these polling places, causing white, conservative voters to wait for hours, very far from home?

What if the SoS decreed that a rural or suburban voter had to disclose his or her personal information, including bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and SSN's just to be able to vote?

What if this SoS had connections with a database company with close ties to the Democratic Party, and hired that company to purge voter rolls, which ends up kicking Republicans off the rolls?

I'll tell you how the repukes would react if the shoe were on the other foot. They'd be screaming at the top of their lungs -- ELECTION FRAUD!! ELECTION FRAUD!! THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION!!!
