The ultimate in tragic irony

The Party who is desperately attempting to eliminate from the voting rolls all those who may vote against this (with virtually no media coverage of this attack on a fundamental and sacred right) is the ONLY one that appears to be engaging in voting fraud at all.

And here's the new poster child:

A criminal probe into doctored petitions for U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter may be uncharted territory as officials say they've never encountered such widespread signature problems.

About 87 percent of McCotter's signatures to get on the primary ballot were tossed because of duplicated copies and apparent copying and pasting of past signatures on his nominating petitions which the state's election chief said Tuesday was "frankly unheard of."

"No one has heard of anything so over the top before," echoed former Republican Attorney General Mike Cox. He added: "To have really overt massive potential fraud is really very unusual."

And, of course...
McCotter is a frequent guest on the late-night Fox News Channel television show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. McCotter is also a regular guest on Dennis Miller's radio show, where the comedian-host refers to him as "young Thad" and "T-Mac" and frequently comments that he "likes the cut of [his] jib."

This really is the reason they are so certain that voting and election fraud are major problem, because they routinely commit them. Projection is the conservatives' entral characteristic.

Not surprising that clueless Dennis would man-crush on such a douche as McCotter.

I'd love it if they went back and checked the signatures for prior years. This can't be a one time thing.

What an asshole.

More of that voter fraud the wingnuts are always yammering on about. Of course, this was also committed by one of them. I hope him and O'Keefe share a cell.
