The most recent WingNut Fuck-Around is North Carolina. Kornacki spent most of his show yesterday highlighting the horror stories that always pop up whenever one political entity has too much power.
Here's the brightest shiniest fact from the discussion of what the Repubs are up to all over the place - not just in North Carolina - Voter ID and the rigging of the election process:
In the 12 years from 2000 to 2011, there were 18,000,000 votes cast in NC elections.
During that same time, there were 22 cases of voter fraud.
For the benefit of all my fellow math-challenged history majors, I have it on good authority that it works out to .000122222%.

It's a horrible huge pressing problem with just over 1 Ten-Thousandths of one percent of the votes cast in a single state in 12 fucking years.
And yes - it's about the power - the GOP just happens to be the most convenient vehicle for this kind of coup right now.
