On Fraud and Florida

As I anticipated, Florida has bent the rules significantly to facilitate voting in the hurricane-damaged areas of the state. You don’t even have to vote in your own precinct! These measures were absolutely necessary, and I commend the state for agreeing to them. But, of course, they are the product of a double standard. They prove that, for the GOP, “fraud” only occurs in large cities, which by definition are filled with minorities and Democrats–usually the same people. Areas dominated by right-leaning white Christians, by definition, are not susceptible to “fraud,” so the usual rules are unnecessary.

If a hurricane ever hits the blue areas of Florida right before an election, don’t expect the same official response. It will be all about “fraud,” not democracy.
