What Sen. Paul described in his tweet was an election.

Candidates are supposed to convince voters to legally vote for them.

This concept has become foreign to Sen. Paul and his party as they seem to go out of their way to make sure to alienate anyone who isn’t already a supporter.

It is easy to mock Rand Paul for trying to make democracy sound ominous, but there is a darker subtext to what the Senator from Kentucky is doing. Rand Paul is trying to delegitimize democracy. Paul tried to make the democratic process sound sinister.

Paul’s tweet was embarrassing but is also a warning that Republicans are going to attempt to make all phases of a legitimate democratic election process seem ominous.
