Republicans know how important it is to get out the vote.  Republicans are a get out the vote machine- they pick a candidate, and they support them all the way through election day.

Democrats are, historically, not quite so good at mobilizing their base to actually cast a ballot.  Perhaps it’s the fact that so much of the youth vote is Democrat, maybe it’s that so much of the Democratic base is urban, and city dwellers have a harder time getting to their polling places.  Whatever the case might be, Republicans put their money where their mouths are when it comes to voting.  And as they have a lot of both mouth and money, that’s saying something.

Just take Mitt Romney, for example.  There is a man who knows how important it is to vote.  So important, in fact, that he fraudulently votes in states where he isn’t a legal resident.

That’s right, Mitt Romney uses his son’s address in California to vote in special elections, like primaries.  And the Republican California authorities are aware of this fraud, they’ve just chosen not to press charges.

So Mitt Romney gets to vote on both coasts, while all over the country Republicans are finding new ways to keep minorities, students, and the elderly from voting.  Particularly, from voting for Democrats.

It sure is a good time to be a Republican.
