It's funny that the same people who rally for greater voter access have no interest in voters actually thinking. Rather, it looks like initiatives to expand voter access also provide opportunities for more voter fraud.

The case between Messrs. Gomes and Ganim is easily enough decided. Both remain on the ballot. Those are already printed. Let intelligent voters choose the candidate that they think is best for them.

But Messrs. Gomes and Ganim are not fighting for intelligently made choices. They are fighting for the Democrat line. They are fighting for voters who reflexively vote the line regardless of the criminal background or record of the person whose name is in the box.

Let's just have an election already. We'll let the intelligent voter decide. And if he chooses Ganim or Gomes or Daniels, it doesn't really matter. They all come with the same Democrat presuppositions that have made our blue cities what they are.

And if they choose me, they at least have a chance at someone who will challenge the Democratic orthodoxy and machine to tackle the problems evident in blue cities across our nation.
