Why is that only the GOP pulls these kinds of stunts?

It seems that Republican officials in South Dakota are trying to disenfranchise the most Democratic leaning country in the state, in anticipation of close statewide elections.

Why do people keep telling me that both parties are corrupt?  Why do people keep telling me that the right and left want the same things but just disagree on the way to get it?  What do people try to tell me that Republicans aren't mean, nasty, cheating, rule-breaking SOBs?

The sooner mankind outgrows religion blah blah blah

The Pew Center national survey on Obama and his religion has been talked to death by pundits.  18% of Americans think Obama is a Muslim.  And this is up 11% last March.  Mind you, this is the same survey that indicates that 41% of Americans have never heard of the religious right, which I just don't believe.  But, let's take the survey numbers as true.

This means that since last March, the anti-Obama-ists have managed to persuade approximately 21,490,000 people of an utter canard.  Make no mistake and let us not bandy words lightly.  The people who claim that Obama is a Muslim are either stupid or liars.  There is no other option.

All Americans of any real intellect and/or any respect for the Constitution of the United States knows that the decent response to "Obama is a Muslim" is "So?" in as far as one wants to have the conversation within the bounds of ordinary American politics.  My own response is more akin to "And this makes him different from other deluded, superstitious people how?"
