Are you arguing that having a wealthy man inject money into voting operations, while specifically choosing which sites qualify and how much they qualify for, with some (let's say ANY) requirements (strings attached), however small, isn't inherently corrupt?

1. The places that got his money applied for the grants.
2. The grants were awarded based on need.
3. The need was frequently created by the fact that Republican legislatures did give those places enough money to ensure that the election would run smoothly.
4. Number 3 above is where the corruption actually exists (in addition of course to gerrymandering, which effectively deprives many citizens of their vote).

I ask this, because if you don't comprehend this fundamental premise I'm not seeing how there is any thing further to discuss; with that, you have effectively said you don't know the basics.

5a. It is astonishing how often you can repeat the same thing. In virtually the same words. Over and over and over again.
5b. You really should have yourself checked for OCD. But I guess you are too busy repeating yourself to do that.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic, and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and/or behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
