All over the country Republicans are enacting draconian legislation designed to separate the people most likely to vote for Democrats from their right to vote.  They scream of rampant voter fraud, even though a DOJ study documented voter fraud at under 3\/10,000 of 1%, Republicans scream that the accuracy vote must be protected in every case.  The problem is, there are cases in which they don\u2019t seem to think so.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"8IowaVotes\"Is Mitt Romney’s eight-vote victory in the Iowa caucuses in doubt?<\/p>\n

Edward True, a voter in Appanoose County, told KCCI-TV<\/a> in Des Moines that he believes there is a typo in the results for his county that could possibly swing the GOP results in favor of Rick Santorum. True, who helped count votes, said he believes there is a 20-vote discrepancy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn issued a statement late Thursday night saying GOP officials "do not have any reason to believe the final, certified results of Appanoose County will change the outcome of Tuesday’s vote."<\/strong><\/p>\n

Santorum told Fox News [Faux Noise delinked] last night that Strawn told him there are two instances in which there were errors reported in Tuesday night’s count, with one being in his favor and the other in Romney’s favor. The former Pennsylvania senator said the two errors essentially cancel each other out, with Romney ending up with a one-vote advantage\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Santorum certainly is a bush-leaguer to have fallen for that hokum from Strawn!<\/font><\/p>\n

What about the accuracy of every single vote? I guess it does not count for Republicans, who seem to be saying that a few votes here and there don\u2019t matter.  Could it be that they are lying?<\/font><\/p>\n

Rachel Maddow exposes even more.<\/font><\/p>\n

The bottom line here could not be more simple.  Republicans don\u2019t give  rat\u2019s ass about the integrity of the vote.  They care only about stacking the deck in their favor.<\/font><\/p>\n
