When large corporations make concerted efforts to put up legal road blocks and speed bumps for people, workers, and smaller businesses, that's widely accepted as a systemic injustice leading to a consolidation of power. But when it's "your" political party doing it to smaller parties with the express aim of winning an election, it's just keeping everything fair? The only reason anybody can excuse this behavior is because it's the side they want to win.

I am ok with Republicans doing the same thing. The rule of law is important, and keeping everyone to the same standard (that of the law; I know that some states have reduced requirements for smaller parties) is in everyone's best interest.
