In any event, instead of criticizing the entirety of the GOP for making these kinds of claims, why not make a push to make it harder, if not impossible, to commit voter fraud? I get voter fraud may not be a big deal, but imagine instead of just saying it's not a big deal, you can say, "It's impossible to commit voter fraud because of XYZ."
Just one of the many issues I have with American politics. People are so quick to cast judgements yet so resistant to changes.
Party officials in state parties and the RNC are the leaders of the party. Elected officials aren't the party leadership. This is one of my big issues with American politics. The parties are literally only there to win elections. The officials, once in office, are only loosely tied to the party and have no formal ties to it. They may caucus with others that were pushed forward by the same established organization, but they don't have to share platforms and really have no loyalty other than the parties hold the purse strings.
