The Franklin County Board of Elections determined Monday the group had likely forged the forms, which used candidate signatures copied from another set of paperwork that had been filed in early October, Plunderbund wrote in a follow-up story. The board rejected True the Vote's forms, meaning the group wasn't allowed in Franklin County polling places today.<< <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/true-the-vote-signature-fraud-in-ohio-2012-11" target="_blank">http://www.businessinsider.com...-2012-11</a>

If voter suppression and intimidation is the only way Republicans can win from now on, then it's time for the party to be dissolved. We desperately need election reform in this country, so that everyone, no matter the party affiliation, has better access to the polls. Period.
