They're Just Saying It Out Loud Now
They don't even care who knows what they are up to. Here is a quote from an actual legal brief filed by the State of Texas, purportedly defending itself against a Supreme Court decision ruling against its electoral gerrymandering:
The Republicans in the State of Texas are openly claiming that it is perfectly acceptable for them to rig the electoral system in their favor. Of course, Republicans everywhere have been doing this for years, but even they have not had the brass to claim that it is okay. Well, those days are over. If they can steal the government, tough shit for you, America.
I've got nothing more to say about this. Any sentient being can see where we are in this country, and what lies ahead.
"DOJ’s accusations of racial discrimination are baseless. In 2011, both houses of the Texas Legislature were controlled by large Republican majorities, and their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats....The redistricting decisions of which DOJ complains were motivated by partisan rather than racial considerations, and the plaintiffs and DOJ have zero evidence to prove the contrary. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates."

In The Republican Party of North Carolina v. Martin, the federal courts struck down the Democrats' changes in the North Carolina judicial election system, which they made in 1987. They decided that the Democrats made the changes in order to keep the Republicans from being elected.
Turnabout is fair play, isn't it?
(Isn't Texas the state where Democrats helped Lyndon Johnson win an election by creating 200 new ballots, all in alphabetical order and all in the same handwriting? That's the reason he's Landslide Lyndon.)
They are one and the same.
Jerry, right as usual.
Chicago. How many dead people voted there during the Daley heyday? Still a Democratic stronghold.
New York City. Remember Tammany Hall? Still a Democratic stronghold.
The Democrats were rigging elections long before the Republicans existed. Remember Elbridge Gerry in Massachusetts? Still a Democratic stronghold.
Tammany Hall's influence died in the 1930's. Mayor Daley died in 1976. Elbridge Gerry died in 1814- 202 years ago. This is what you come up with, because you know perfectly well that the Democrats are a political party today, but the Republicans are a corrupt racketeering organization.
That's the truth; deal with it.
How many are dead because Clinton voted for a war in Iraq? I guess that's to old for you Democrats to be held accountable for, except she's running for president. What a partisan hack you are. Just as bad and in as much delusion as a Trump supporter.
