Well, It Worked in Florida

The Washington State Republican vote count is getting a lot of press. I liked this post from Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Seems that Luke Esser, The Republican party state chairman, has a long history of vote suppression.

Now your average leftist loudmouth is a committed individual and can almost never be persuaded to ignore his constitutional rights. the deadbeats, however, are a different matter entirely. years of interminable welfare checks and free government services have made these modern-day sloths even more lazy. they will vote on election day, if it isn’t much of a bother. but even the slightest inconvenience can keep them from the polling place.

Many of the most successful anti-deadbeat voter techniques (poll taxes, sound beatings, etc.) that conservatives have used in the past have been outlawed by busybody judges.

Didn't he know you're only supposed to use these tactics against Democrats?

Of course, chances are at least 50/50 that this was an attempt at satire, although Horsesass does link to a PDF of the original column. But what kind of world do we live in when satire and reality meet on the right?

Here's a more sedate post on it by Will Bunch.
