Communists Channel Their Inner Republican. (Or Is It the Other Way Around?)

Voter suppression seems to be all the rage these days. The one difference between the Chinese Communists and the GOP is that the Commies are at least honest about it in public.

The Beijing-appointed leader of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, said Monday evening that it was unacceptable to allow his successors to be chosen in open elections, in part because doing so would risk giving poorer residents a dominant voice in politics.

In this country, GOP officials have to be sort of caught admitting that their objective is to keep people different from them away from the polls.
