Republicans Trying to Suppress Vote — Again
October 18, 2008
It seems to me the Republicans are up to their old tricks again. They are charging registration and voter fraud in an effort to suppress Democratic voters — just like they did in 2000 and 2004.
The idea is first to charge registration and voter fraud, which the Republicans are doing with ACORN as the target. Then the next step is to leak news that the Government is investigating the charges, which the Republicans did 24 hours after the last presidential debate. Last, the Republicans then spread rumors among the voters they don’t want voting that they might become the target of investigators if they vote in the election. That’s the pattern from 2000 through the present.
This time the Democrats are doing more than expressing alarm, though. Last night, they went on record demanding a special prosecutor investigate the matter to discover if there are any links or criminal coordination between the McCain Campaign and the Federal Government.
This could get nasty. Is that Republican butt steak I smell on the grill?

Desperation. But calculated, ugly desperation at work here. I would not put anything past them here on the eve of the election. Anything.

I live in the state where they got away with it in 2004. I made a brief mention of that on my other blog. I don’t usually do the link thing but…

I only do it now because I’ve decided all negative robocalls are going on my blog which moved me into the realm of discussing politics and that brought me to linking to what’s going on once again here in Ohio.

@ Prax: Unfortunately, there are many misguided people these days who would mess with the vote.
@ Brenda: I too am inclined to think they might do just about anything to defraud us.
@ Robin: Thank you so much for the link! I’m glad you are documenting what’s going on in your state.
