[GPSCC-chat] Allegations of voter fraud by GOP involving GP

[spencerg]

        To our Democrat friends who complain about Greens "stealing 
Democrat votes", the following reply comes to mind:


             1.  I refuse to vote for legalized bribery, which is the 
essence of our current system where money wins elections with shockingly 
rare exceptions.


             2.  If they believe in democracy, they should vigorously 
support ranked choice voting / instant runoff voting.
