During a playoff game between the San Francisco Giants and the\u00a0Chicago Cubs in 1989, Will Clark was up to bat with the bases loaded.\u00a0 The pitcher was Greg Maddux.\u00a0\u00a0The catcher went out to the mound to\u00a0ask Maddux about how he wanted to pitch to\u00a0Clark.\u00a0\u00a0Maddux said that he wanted to use fast balls away.\u00a0 Unfortunately for Maddux, Will Clark read his lips and he hit the next pitch for a homerun.\u00a0 Later Will Clark admitted that he knew what pitch\u00a0was coming.\u00a0 This is why every pitcher today covers his mouth with his glove when talking on the mound.\u00a0\u00a0It probably would have been wiser for Clark to keep his mouth shut as well, because once pitchers learned about this they quickly fixed the problem.<\/p>\n

In the recent Colorado recall election two\u00a0state senators strongly in favor of gun control were recalled.\u00a0 This was a major victory for the NRA and for gun advocates across the country.\u00a0 It was also a major defeat for\u00a0Mayor Bloomberg, who donated a ton of money to defeat the recall elections.\u00a0 But the real story here may be something else.\u00a0\u00a0Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairman of the DNC and\u00a0easily one of the dumbest people ever elected to congress, said “voter\u00a0suppression” was the reason her candidates lost.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The candidate, Angela Giron, repeated the charge on CNN:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/katiepavlich\/2013\/09\/13\/recalled-colorado-senator-has-a-meltdown-on-cnn-n1699391<\/a><\/p>\n

Most people immediately dismissed this as traditional Democratic sour grapes.\u00a0 Liberal Democrats are always shocked to learn that a high percentage of people don’t buy the crap they are peddling.\u00a0 But the real problem for Democrats is that she just may have been telling the truth:<\/p>\n

Giron: What this story really is about, it\u2019s about voter suppression. When Colorado has voted by mail \u2014 70 percent of Coloradans vote by mail \u2014 and we didn\u2019t have access to that mail ballot, I mean, I \u2014<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This just may be an admission by Wassermanshultz and Giron that vote by mail is used by Democrats to gain additional votes through voter fraud.\u00a0 When Democrats were denied the vote by mail scam, they lost big time.\u00a0 The problem is more likely to be voter fraud when vote by mail is allowed rather than voter suppression when it isn’t.<\/p>\n

Here is how that works and why it is so hard to control\u00a0 Imagine someone in a nursing home who is registered to vote, but not all that active.\u00a0 A nice smiling young man or woman shows up and offers to help them vote.\u00a0 They are very nice and even help them fill out the ballot and put it in the mail for them.\u00a0 Now imagine this happening over and over again including in some cases where the voter may not even speak English.\u00a0 Is it really a surpise that a high percentage of these vote by mail ballots miraculously turn out to vote for the Democratic candidate in far higher percentages than for those who show up at the polls?<\/p>\n

It is bad enought that Democrats have no problem with people voting who are not required to identify themselves.\u00a0 At least somebody shows up.\u00a0 But with massive vote by mail, how on earth can anyone be sure who is doing the actual voting?\u00a0 How\u00a0can they even be sure this is truly a secret ballot?\u00a0 \u00a0Do 70% of hte people really need to vote by mail because it is too hard to vote in person?\u00a0 Republicans have only two choices here.\u00a0 They either change the laws, to remove this type of potential abuse, or they become better at playing the game than Democrats.<\/p>\n

I think, possibly for the first time in her life, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz was right about something.\u00a0 I do think that the lack of the ability to vote by mail did impact this important election.\u00a0 Republicans should study the results in Colorado and learn from this experience.\u00a0 We may have a Will Clark moment here where a political opponent accidentally told the truth without realizing people can read lips.<\/p>\n
