Boy, voter intimidation. Nothin' really takes the breath away quite like it. Few things are quite as naked and ugly as an attempt to stop poor people from bettering their situation.
This is the most naked form of politics as a venue to keep control. It's not about ideals. It's not about the public good. It's a knockdown, drag out fight for power.
Certainly makes one feel a little polly-anna-ish for not fighting dirty.
