Why would a Democrat shoot another Democrat working at a voting location?

06:54 p.m., Tuesday, May 29, 2012 -- SAN JUAN, Texas (AP) — A man campaigning outside a South Texas police and fire station serving as a polling place in Tuesday's Texas primaries was shot in the leg in an apparent drive-by shooting, but authorities hadn't identified any suspects. He was campaigning for Hector JoJo Mendez who is a Democrat....this is how the Republicans supress voters because they didn't get there way with voter ID.

don,

Your post says they haven't identified any suspects. How did you know he/she was a Republican? Sounds like petty bipartisan fear-mongering to me. Is this really how you intend on winning votes? By claiming Republicans wants to shoot Democrats? No wonder we are so divided as a country.
