Making Sausage

I've long said that most American's don't really want to look closely at the inner workings of their democratic process.

The 2000 debacle in Florida helped demonstrate that (and Bob Dole's typically acerbic comments about "making sausage" were on the mark).

And these observations from Jason Riley are a more recent example. By the way, note the use of the term "intimidate" (which seems to be any effort to ensure that election law is followed). I'm sure poll observers would be regarded as "intimidation" by these folks, since that seems to have become the standard Democrat line on such matters.

Are there no principled Democrats who will denounce such shameful practices? Or am I simply trying to "intimidate" by asking that question?
