The Nation takes credit for there being no “vote suppressors” at the polls.  Next think you know, they’ll take credit for no witches or goblins at the polls to scare people.  One cannot take credit for scaring away that which never existed.  You simply must read it to believe it.

“News reports [like the LA Times] from other areas like Ohio also showed no intimidation in play, but erroneously concluded that was because it was never a problem to begin with. That’s a silly if not naive interpretation. If intimidation isn’t showing its face, it’s because a legion of voting rights reporters exposed the plans and intentions of ballot bullies and voter harassment artists like True the Vote and their tea party affiliates. “

Accurate re-write: If intimidation isn’t showing its face, it’s because it never existed except in the minds of the racially paranoid who needed a way to stoke up a disenchanted base.
