Voter Suppression? Hmmm...
OK, so my cousin, well meaning but misguided democrat send me an email link to a news story about Bush and the RNC paying for the lawyer fees for a Bush official who is accused of election tampering. That link is here if you want to read it. I agree with Mike that WE shouldn't pay for this, unless he is found innocent. Does seem a little hypocritical.
BUT, now I have to share an email I received from the RNC Political Director Michael DuHaime!
August 11, 2005Dear John,
I wrote to you in May about the lengths to which Democrats went in an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2004 elections, specifically, the Washington State Governor's race. Our Republican candidate, Dino Rossi, actually won the election, and then the recount, before then Democrat-controlled King County "found" 566 new votes just in time for a second recount, enough to overturn the results of Election Day and the first recount. The judge who presided over the court case that followed, actually said "this election may not be set aside simply because the number of fraudulent votes exceeds the margin of victory" when he issued his ruling against the Republican challenge.
Now, The American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund (ACVR Legislative Fund), a non-partisan, non-profit organization has released a new report documenting how thousands of Americans were disenfranchised during the 2004 elections because paid Democrat operatives were heavily involved in voter intimidation and suppression.
A few of examples include:
- Coordinated efforts by certain "non-partisan" organizations to disrupt the election process in at least 12 states through voter registration fraud
- Democrat operatives convicted for tire-slashing on GOP election day vans in Milwaukee
The report also indicated that the following were the top 5 "hot spots" in the nation for voter fraud:
1. Philadelphia, PA
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. Seattle, WA
4. St. Louis, MO/East St. Louis, IL
5. Cleveland, OHWe encourage you to view the ACVR report in it's entirety at www.ac4vr.com and forward this to your friends and family.
Fight back today by calling talk radio and writing letters to the editor describing the Democrats' efforts to undermine American's voting system.
Sincerely,
Michael DuHaime
RNC Political Director

It's true that people on both sides will do illegal things for their sides benefit. It's up to the top dogs to play on teh level and the media to call them on it when there's corruption. Unfortunately the media is often lousy, but because they're lazy, not because of some liberal conspiracy.
Sometimes there is election fraud with no political motivation at all, like in this case:
By the way, I am liberal, but not necessarily Democrat.
