Oh my, what a coincidence!  Or not.  I was worried that voter suppression could tilt a state or two (Florida was so close again), but I do think that the lines showed determination.  I think people believed that the efforts to suppress their vote should not stand, and so they stood and stood and stood in line and in defiance. 

I can only thank those folks for being so determined.  Maybe the GOP will learn it is better to earn their vote than their distrust via voterfraudfraud efforts. Or not.
