BS backlash (or double-edged BS)

The New York Times has reported (read about it here) that voters (particularly those generally loyal to the Democrat Party) may be unmotivated to go to the polls due to a widespread perception that our electoral process is broken/corrupt/rigged.

If this report is true (and not simply the NYT's attempt to pump up the Dem crowd), then Dems have noone to blame but themselves for their OVER THE TOP rhetoric in response to their poor performance at the ballot box over the past decade or so. As far as the Left is concerned, if they're losing elections, the elections can't be fair.

Of late, I'm getting several emails a day from Lefty orgs talking about "stolen elections" and certainly they're not surprised that years of pushing this meme may have taken root? Perhaps going forward the Dems will be more concerned about the consequences of their scorched-earth vote-fraud rhetoric.
