This is how the Dems operate. I just hope the Republicans see this coming in 2014 - they will have to or we won't win the Senate. By then, Obamacare will be a total disaster and we have every chance of winning the Senate, but for this type of behavior by those less honest than us.

Voter suppression is a fact that disproportionately targets largely voters that vote for Democrat candidates. There have been some Republicans that have actually admitted this and are on record saying so. They don't even try to prove voter fraud anymore. There's no point, as voter fraud is largely nonexistent.
Due to the large voter participation in 2008, the Republicans decided that disenfranchising people out of their votes would be their best course of action. Depending on the state in question and the laws to vote in that state, voter suppression disproportionately affects young voters, women, minorities, low-income, and some older people born without a birth certificate.
There were even Republicans that were trying to do away with the 26th Amendment. The 26th Amendment was passed and signed into law by Richard Nixon. "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." Needless to say, the 26th Amendment is still alive and well despite Republican cries to abolish it. If young people voted Republican, I am guessing they would want to decrease the age to 16 with the slogan, "Old enough to drive, old enough to vote."
Democrats know this fact, and they have taken measures to combat it. This is why Gallup incorrectly predicted a Mitt Romney win in last year's election. Gallup thought voter participation would remain the same in 2012 as it was in 2008. Wrong. Democrats took steps to combat the disenfranchisement of the voters. They mobilized their forces and actually increased their voter rolls in the swing states that would decide the election.
Problem solved. Nothing like someone trying to take your vote away to get some people motivated.
