Typical Democrat ploy. It's not the first time they've tried to change the rules during an election. And when you're this far into the election cycle, it's during the election. Problem is it's pretty short-sighted. It's one of those things they want to change now because they think it will benefit their candidate.....but haven't thought through how it may very well come back to bite them in the arse someday.
