And you call the COMPLAINT cynical?!
A news article for you: Voter fraud in Arizona
A 30-second summary, in case you don't have time to read the article:
The Arizona Democratic Party has filed a complaint alleging that Republicans are recruiting "sham" Green Party candidates in an effort to split the Democratic vote. They say the Rs are convincing people to switch their party registration to Green so that they can run as write-in candidates in the primary. Under Arizona election laws, if they get just one write-in vote in the primary, they advance to the general election ballot in November. All of the races they're running in happen to be competitive for the Democrats, so clearly they are hoping to split the Democratic vote with these fake Green candidates, and thereby hand the win to the Republican.
The Arizona Green Party has disavowed these new Green candidates. The Democrats call the evidence "compelling," and say that it shows "an utter disregard for the voters of Arizona." The Republicans have responded by pointing out that what they're doing is not illegal (true, but is it moral?), and call the accusations by the Democrats "cynical."
Who's really being cynical here?
