The Republicans are benevolent and good, with only honesty and concern for your welfare in their hearts. Of course they want you to have faith in democracy - at least the word democracy, since that is the excuse-word they use to justify undermining minor things like civil liberties and the constitution. And besides, if the Democrats were to engage in voter fraud, it might cancel out their own. (Ok, that's as much sarcasm as I can manage in one go).

Except my thought was more along the "they're going to try and discredit his win, because they know he is going to win and that's the only dirty trick left in the bucket" line. It's going to be 2000 all over again, I'm just waiting for it to happen. They actually had an article about this in The Chronicle yesterday, and I thought the exact same thing.
