> I have written this cover piece<http://www.sacbee.com/2012/11/03/4958430/republicans-have-pursued-election.html>for the
> *Sacramento Bee’*s Sunday Forum section. It begins:
>
> On Tuesday, voters will go to the polls in what is expected to be a
> nail-bitingly close presidential election. Indeed, we may wake up Wednesday
> morning, as voters did in 2000 and 2004, not knowing who won. If we are
> extremely unlucky, the election will be so close that it will go to a
> recount and possibly to the courts. The state whose votes are pivotal to
> the election outcome – Ohio, Florida, who knows? – will see its election
> process go under a microscope with full dissection in real time over
> Twitter and Facebook. It would get very ugly very quickly.
>
> If the election comes down to the wire in this way, and if Mitt Romney<http://topics.sacbee.com/Mitt+Romney/> ekes
> out a win, then a series of election changes and administrative actions
> pursued by Republican legislatures and election officials, as well as
> challenges pursued by tea party activists, may prove to have given him the
> winning margin. While crass political calculation is part of the
> explanation for Republican pursuit of these tough new voting rules, there
> is also a deeper philosophical divide between Republicans and Democrats
> over the nature of voting and democracy, a divide that the most recent
> skirmishes in the voting wars have laid bare.
>
> Another snippet:
>
> Whether or not Republicans are genuinely concerned about voter fraud<http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> –
> and if they were, the first thing they should do is get rid of absentee
> ballots, <http://topics.sacbee.com/absentee+ballots/> which would
> eliminate the lion’s share ofvoter fraud<http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> issues
> – a voter fraud <http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> rationale cannot
> explain recent Republican cutbacks on early voting.
>
> In Ohio, Doug Preisse, chair of the Franklin County Republican Party and
> elections board member, offered the Columbus Dispatch a different
> explanation for his vote against extended weekend early voting: “I guess I
> really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate
> the urban – read African American – voter-turnout machine. … Let’s be fair
> and reasonable.”
>
> But Republican cutbacks on voting go beyond the naked political
> calculation to a philosophical divide with Democrats over the nature of
> voting and elections. To many Republicans, voting is an exercise in
> choosing the best candidate. Under that philosophy, it makes sense to make
> voting harder to weed out those who might care less, or be less tied to the
> community, or be less educated or intelligent.
>
> And:
>
> The Democrats’ philosophy about voting and elections could not be more
> different. Democrats tend to see elections as about the allocation of power
> among political equals, and it is not the state’s job to decide who is
> smart enough or motivated enough to vote. Indeed, Democrats’ concerns about
> these new Republican laws is not really that they literally will
> disenfranchise many voters; it is that by adding additional effort to the
> requirements to cast a ballot, these new Republican restrictions will deter
> casual voters from bothering to take the steps necessary to cast a ballot
> that will count.
>
> As with Republicans, the Democrats’ philosophy on voting neatly ties in
> with the party’s self-interest. These casual voters are going to be more
> likely to vote Democratic. Thus, proclaiming a high-minded commitment to
> universal enfranchisement also is good for Democratic candidates. It is no
> surprise that states which have adopted Election Day registration – as
> California recently did for future elections – tend to be states with
> Democratic-dominated legislatures. Nor have Democrats shown any interest in
> removing noncitizens from the rolls in the off-season, although noncitizen
> voting remains a real, if small, problem.
>
> The latest skirmishes in the voting wars have laid bare the underlying
> voting philosophies of the two major parties, and the connection of those
> philosophies to each party’s self- interest. This is a fight that’s taken
> place at the margin, in technical changes to voting rules. Perhaps these
> changes will have no effect at all on the identity of the next president.
> Or perhaps they will be the difference between four more years of Barack
> Obama and a new presidency under Mitt Romney.
