And Keep Cheating

A follow-up to this post from yesterday. The thing to remember about Republicans is, they don't give up:

The North Carolina GOP right now is trying to force a bill through the state legislature that would require all county election boards to be chaired only by Republicans during election years.

While the text of the bill cannot specifically state "all county election boards must be chaired only by Republicans during election years," they've done the next best thing.

""In the even-numbered year, the chair shall be a member of the political party with the second highest number of registered affiliates," the bill states.

Statewide elections are only held in even-numbered years. North Carolina actually has 2.7 million registered Democrats, and 2.1 million registered Republicans.

I have a new slogan for the GOP:

"Vote Republican -- Kiss America Good-Bye."
