Wednesday's political link

I almost didn't do one today, but then I came across this, here--more evidence of Republican intent to suppress voting:

"A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan - possibly in violation of US law - to disrupt voting in the state's African-American voting districts.

Now, I've seen people bitching about this story, too. Let me point out that the difference is that the latter story involves one situation in which a woman paid to register voters apparently, of her own initiative, bribed someone with crack. In contrast, the stories of Republican voter fraud--the one posted here, and others I've posted before--indicate that the party itself is condoning and encouraging suppressing voters.

Both are obnoxious. However, there is a difference between isolated instances of cheating by individuals without real political power, and what appears to be a clear plan to undermine the democratic process by one of the two major political parties.

Comments are great; obnoxious comments get deleted. Deal.

Don't feel like commenting? Feel free to bitch at me directly.
