I am not sure how I feel about this.  My knee jerk reaction is oh he11 no!

What are your thoughts?

Meh.

It only seems fair. If the US wants to be a good leader we need to set a good example, and part of that involves being transparent. We can't exactly accuse nations like Venezuela and Russia of having rigged elections if we can't show our own house is clean.

I wouldn't be bothered by it. I am actually slightly worried that Republicans will try underhanded tactics in order to win.  I would be for it

All for it as long as they're also looking out for the democrats' tactics of voting early and often and busing people across state lines to vote as much as possible.

What are you talking about? Did you just make that up? Who "votes early and often" while "bussing people across state lines to vote as much as possible."

Links?

Here's two.  I'm sure you'll find a way to refute them.

Oh, honey.  You can't really believe that?

Wishful- you neglected to link the articles on Republican based voter fraud.

The original post already referred to them so I counterpointed.

Okay, so Wendy Rosen committed voter fraud, and some other idiots said it would be cool to do so.  I still don't see these links backing up your assertion that Democrats as a whole tend to "vote early and often," while "bussing people across state lines to vote as much as possible."

 ETA: also, you literally offered no instances of the bussing cross state lines. Is that the part you flat out made up?

Yes, voter fraud happens. But it isn't solely a problem with the democrats:

By making false accusations with no proof?  Good counterpoint.

you asked for links, I provided a couple.  The original post's link was pretty weak.  To have the UN monitoring is a joke.  But you win because libs win all arguments.

You aren't making any sense. But I guess I shouldn't have expected you to. And why do you think "libs" win all arguments? Are you saying they are smarter? Weird point to make.

Yes, this was a huge issue in the 1920s, when we had more ships and bayonets.

Busing people across state lines or even across town is actually a very poor bang-for-buck exercise. You're far better off spending that money on advertising.
