I think both accusations of voter fraud, and accusations of voter Suppresion, are probably overblown. Nice way to demonize your opponents.
I am betting a good ground game will bring out many more voter then can be "suppressed"

Multiple court rulings in the last few months against ID laws passed in a number of states makes the suppression side much more plausible.
 
Since we haven't heard from crazy Bachmann recently:

“Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know, but I do know that the Bible is true and that Daniel teaches the most high God which is one of God’s names is the one who lifts up who He will and takes down who He will and so that’s why my prayers and my actions and my work on a daily basis is to make sure that Donald Trump becomes ‘President Trump’ the first Tuesday of November this 2016,” Bachmann added.

Someone needs to let her know the election isn't the first Tuesday in November.

Did you read the article?

Who knows, but I'm a fan of working within the law, I guess we differ that way.

I agree and don't. I agree that claimed effects of suppression are overblown. However, make no mistake, the GOP has been trying to do it.

Oh, I agree,the GOP has been trying it.But I also believe it has not been nearly as successful like some would claim.

I disagree. At best or worst, you can find maybe 1 or whatever examples of voter fraud every 4 years, where somebody may have voted twice. However, every 4 years it is easy to find thousands of people not allowed to vote. For example, college students.

In Tennessee, a new law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls explicitly excludes student IDs.

In Wisconsin, college students are newly disallowed from using university-provided housing lists or corroboration from other students to verify their residence.

Florida’s reduction in early voting days is expected to reduce the number of young and first-time voters there.

And Pennsylvania’s voter identification bill, still on the books for now, disallows many student IDs and non-Pennsylvania driver’s licenses, which means out-of-state students may be turned away at the polls.

In New Hampshire, Republican lawmakers almost passed a bill that would have banned out-of-state students from casting a ballot.

The homeless and felons are prevented from voting. There are actually millions of people that might choose to vote can't because of things that makes it too much a pain to vote.
 
...Daniel teaches the most high God which is one of God’s names is the one who lifts up who He will and takes down who He will...

Makes me wonder why she's so opposed to Obama since he must have been lifted up by her god. Oh, yes. Her bible says exactly that.

"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished."
Romans 13

I think a decent percentage of that 40% is not "keen" on Donald, but think he is better then Hilary. I think they are totally wrong, but I can understand not liking Hilary a lot......
I predict there will be putative Trump supporters secretly going with Hillary, but not much crossover the other way around. Hillary is the conservative choice, Trump the more radical, IMO. That may attract longtime Republicans like my mom, age 92, who has developed a dislike for Trump. And her main source of news is Fox!

She also has been pretty satisfied with Obama. Doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. ;)
 
Don't know if it's been mentioned but Trump has agreed to meet Mexico's president.

He invited both him and Hillary

Another reason I'm an atheist.

I would worry about his safety if I gave a **** about it. He is absolutely hated in Mexico and less than 24 hours notice isn't much time to set up security.

Would be good to be a fly on the wall

"I'm going to make you pay for my wall"

"(Cracks up laughing) Nah. Piss off mate."

"Ok"

Donald will probably lie about it and claim the Mexican president agreed to pay for the wall.
