It started the other day, when
James Wolcott noticed Fox News talking heads start to bring up the same points.
It is pretty obvious that this election will turn into a full blown battle in the court system, though luckily, the courts aren't falling for early Republican antics.
But New Donkey has seen the trends, with articles this week here and here talking about how the early Republican antics are setting the stage for a huge advantage in manipulating the media later. And he smells Rove all over it:
Now I have no direct evidence that Karl Rove has planned and is executing this voter suppression strategy, though it's interesting that every Republican hack and pundit in the universe started singing like a cicada about "voter fraud" about a week before the Ohio story got into the national news. But it sure as hell fits Rove's M.O. like a glove.
The wholesale manipulation of the election is in the works. Don't say that we weren't warned this time.
