The Supreme Court allowed it to happen.

The Democratic Party allowed it to happen.

The Department of Justice allowed it to happen.

There is no law in this country.

The Republicans control everything whether they are in the minority or majority.

Their party platform depends on lying, cheating, and stealing elections.

If the laws of the land were enforced they could not get elected.

If the Democratic party would have prosecuted Wall Street;

If the Democratic party would have prosecuted war criminals;

If the Democratic party would have prosecuted torturers;

If the Democratic party would stop signing deregulation bills;

If the Democratic party would stop signing Free Trade agreements;

maybe, just maybe this election would have turned out differently.

The Republican party is a total sham.

The Democratic party leaves much to be desired.

Completely ignored it for the most part.

Wonder why that is? Probably don't want to make waves, nasty waves that would turn off voters.

They won some and lost some. Unfortunately we're kind of in a nebulous legal regime now that SCOTUS modifies the VRA: Shelby County v. Holder could mean that all states are subject to DOJ scrutiny beforehand, or none are.
