Default Vote suppression all the rage.

In between speeches complaining of not getting enough government support, speeches complaining of too much big government, and a large selection of random moments of insanity the GOP kept the vote suppression train rolling. Why let the poor minorities have all the fun when they can go after Ron Paul supporters as well?

Following the dust-up, Yelena Vorobyov (pictured below), a 30-year-old Paul delegate from Apple Valley, Minnesota, was eager to vent. Barely taking a breath, she said: "This is just evidence of the manipulation of the Republican Party. They're not even allowing us to bring signs in, but they brought in their own [pro-Romney] signs. We couldn't nominate Ron Paul. The 'no' for not passing the rules was louder than the 'aye' and they ruled in favor of the rules. They're cheating. The Republican National Committee is not transparent and does not have integrity. They stole votes. They stole delegates. They refused to send busses for our delegates. It's a totalitarian process. This is not democracy. It's a really sad day for us. I've worked for Republican candidates since I was 16. We believed the Republican Party had more integrity. Boy, did they prove us wrong."
I would bold the relevant parts but I would have to post the entire article and then bold the entire wall of text.
