Sore-losers in the swing states

Those Koch brothers and their ilk poured money into low hanging fruit on the state level and here's the result? Looks like more sleaze from the Repubs.

I been reading about this. They tried voter imitation and suppression and lost. Tried buying the election with dark money and lost! Maybe even an attempt to fix the count in some states and failed.

They do not want to change the party line. So cheating seems to be their strategy. One way to keep themselves in power with the country changing demographics you betcha!

Not surprising since the Electoral College was created to pacify the slave states.

Yes Rob...but this is selective...they are not going to try this in places where they normally win.

I do not believe this will be tolerated. Plus if there is evidence that they are doing this to simply to disenfranchise voters to influence elections it could be struck down in court.
And the Voting Rights Act should allow the Justice Department to block these movements in those States subject to it.

I hope.

Seems to me they were singing a similar tune, different verse, during the Bush/Kerry election. Only, that time their shenanigans paid off.

I'm hoping for another Obama pick on the Supreme Court or better yet-two for Hillary!

Sounds good to me. Scalia appears to be eating himself into an early grave. Clarence Thomas isn't looking too sharp, either.
