Why is it that the Democratic party REACTS? THEY KNOW repubs are going to cheat, so why are they surprised to find that cheating has been committed? The Democratic party needs to become more proactive, this is not the 1st time proof of cheating from the repubs is found, and it is always obvious, once it is taken public.

So why? why are democrats always reacting instead of preventing. Even if the repubs have the numbers in power, nothing prevents the democrats to do their due diligence to find out what it is the repubs are planning in regards to cheating.

Yes, laws must be passed, but why allow them to cheat? This is not new, it has been in the public eye for many years. The election in 2000 when ballots were found in trash bags, when the owner of Diebold machines said he would do anything in his power to make sure Bush would win the presidency...how much more is needed to make democrats become proactive? What is wrong with this picture?

It is infuriating because I strongly believe that most of it could have been prevented.

I cannot think that what happened in GA was found only days before the election...
