The old Republicans might wonder if voter fraud was a problem and if so, they would ponder what could be done about it. Today's Republicans "know" "voter fraud" is a problem and they "know" that voter ID will "fix" the problem. And anyone who doesn't "know" this is a "RINO", Republican in Name Only!
The Democratic party isn't much better. Rather than a grand vision of making life better for all the people, they have degenerated into an opposition party that often caves in to the claims of the Republicans.
Both parties have also become beholden to corporate interests who promote those interests with a smokescreen of "creating jobs".
Maybe the Democrats should work to rebuild themselves from the ground up with much more participation in the neighborhoods. But that won't happen because the car culture has changed neighborhoods. Now neighborhoods are online and those neighbors don't vote in the same precinct.
