As I've said over and over, if anyone deliberately attempted to surpress or deny anyones right to vote in the last election, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Having said that, if anyone actually believes that the LIBS or DIPPERS never called anyone at dinner, never had a rude volunteer or call center person, never contracted with a firm to do robo-calling that might have been considered annoying to non-supporters, never had a candidate lie about their opponent either on purpose or by mistake, never had a volunteer deface or destroy an opponents signs, never had a volunteer remove campaign literature from a mailbox while replacing with their own.... well, I've got a great bridge to sell you. It's red, like the Flames.
Find the people responsible for this and crush them. But knock off the rhetoric that it is ONLY the CONS that play politics dirty.

That reputation is well-earned. How soon you gloss over the last election where the CPC moved millions of dollars against the election laws during the "in and out" scheme. But sure, let's talk about attack ads.
