The main stream media has been quick to point out that people went to the polls equally disgusted with Democrats and Republicans. But they missed the point. People were angry with Democrats for rubber stamping Barack Obama in his path to failure. They were angry with Republicans because they seemed incapable to even slowing him down.This vote was a mandate for Republicans to get this fixed. But another reason for these elections results may be voter ID laws.This may be that rarest of occasions where Nancy Pelosi accidently told the truth.She said that the reason Democrats lost was because of voter suppression. She may be spot on about that. But what Nancy calls voter suppression the rest of us call limiting voting to people actually eligible to vote and limiting them to voting only once. If we can achieve that standard nationwide, Democrats may find it increasingly difficult to win any elections.

All through the night we saw vote totals where Republicans seems to be comfortably ahead, yet networks would not call the election.  This was because prior year’s elections always seemed to tilt toward Democrats with late arriving votes from Democratic districts.  That did not happen this time.  Instead, when the final counts were in Republicans won and they won big.

There has been a significant change since 2012.  There have been voter ID laws passed and massive efforts to purge voting records of inegible voters.This may have had more impact that anyone realized.  Certainly Nancy Pelosi thinks so.

If you look at a congressional map today you will discover that Republicans win almost everywhere, except for isolated packets with extremely dense populations.  You know the kind of places where a Democrat machine consistently delivers the votes. There are basically two kinds of places on this planet where candidates from the ruling party routinely receive overwhelming majorities of the vote.  Democratic districts in major metropolitan areas and dictatorships that only pretend to hold free elections.

There is a reason Democrats are fighting voter ID laws at every opportunity. What they really fear is an open and honest election limited to people actually eligible to vote. Now we know why.
