Cockblock the vote

I would've laughed at this, if it wasn't so enraging...


VID #1. A Pennsylvania court upholds a controversial voter I.D. law that affect 9% of the entire state electorate, but that's the price you pay to prevent something that doesn't happen.


VID #2. Ohio Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted provokes national outcry by restricting voting hours for Democratic-leaning counties to suppress voter turnout.

hmmm....they fail because.....well, i wonder why? Is it because in SA there exists a "true" majority? Be it an ethnic majority, ethic majority, political majority, etc.. Is there a common perception and set expectation on government right now there in SA?

You know...because in The States it's almost as if no one really knows what the job/role of the government is. All sides are still trying (in my eyes) to decided the extent of government's role in society.

They fail because they suck at re-drawing maps.

Bickering about the role of government is sooo First-World problem! You're fortunate that you can afford to spend your time bickering about it, rather than killing each other.
