The myth is more important than the reality.

John Fund reports that even some Ohio Democrats are ticked at Howard Dean
and the DNC for perpetrating the myth of election fraud in Ohio in 2004.

But William Anthony, a Democrat who is chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Party in Ohio's capital of Columbus, rejects any suggestion of voter suppression.


"Most of the precincts that stayed open late because of long lines were in the suburbs," he told the Columbus Dispatch last November. Mr. Anthony, who is also chair of the Franklin County elections board, acknowledged that the high turnout and a ballot that involved more than 100 choices for some voters did create lines, but added that he was offended by allegations from "a band of conspiracy theorists" that voter suppression had occurred. "I am a black man. Why would I sit there and disenfranchise voters in my own community?"

That, in turn, raises the question:

Why do Democrats like Mr. Dean persist in inciting racial tensions with
wildly exaggerated claims that black voters are being disenfranchised
?

Exactly. The myth is more important than the reality.
