Liberals are always complaining that Republicans win their elections by surpressing the vote, disinfranchising minority voters and rigging voting machines, despite the fact that no one has ever produced any hard evidence.  I happen to believe that both sides are guilty of dirty tricks from time-to-time but only the Left whines about it.  The truth be told, in recent years the Democrats have been far more guilty of the "Win at any cost" mentality.  Here are just a few examples:

1)      They talk about disenfranchising the African American vote in Florida as if it were a fact, but other than antidotal evidence I have never heard of hard evidence that this occurred.

2)      When speaking in Florida, Kerry talks about that unlike the 2000 election they want every vote to count and blame the Republicans for thwarting this from happening in 2000.  The reality, there has never been any evidence that Gore won in Florida in 2000.  The problems that occurred in Florida in 2000, only occurred in counties run by Democratic election supervisors and Gore operatives tried to push for recounts in Democratic counties only knowing full well that statistically speaking would cause Gore to pick-up votes.  The Democrats didn’t want every vote to count, just votes in Democratic counties.

3)      In 2000, Democratic operatives in several states gave cigarettes to homeless people (an a ride to the polls) to get them to vote for Gore in clear violation of election law.

4)      In the current election cycle, the Democrats have tried to use the court system to keep Ralph Nader off of the ballots in any state he was registered.  This is completely UN-American.

5)      Despite the California constitution that allows for a recall vote, the Democrats tried to use the court system to suppress the will of the people.

6)      Despite New Jersey election law, the Democrats replaced Senator Torricelli with Frank Lautenberg past the deadline once it became clear the Torricelli would lose his re-election bid.  They did this knowing that a Democratic State Supreme Court would turn a blind eye toward election law.

7)      Gerrymandering (of congressional districts) by the party in power has occurred since the Republic was founded.  Over the years, Texas has gone from a Democratic state to a Republican state.  When it was clear the Democrats would lose congressional seats in congress, the Democratic state legislators left the state twice to try to avoid a quorum knowing they would lose a straight up-and-down vote.

8)      Democrats in the Senate have used the filibuster to avoid Bush nominees to the Federal Bench knowing these judges would be confirmed if the nominee were voted on in the Senate.  This had never occurred in the history of the United States prior to the Democrats employing this tactic for judicial nominees over the past two years (despite the Constitution only requiring 51 votes to confirm).
