Election violence must be stopped
By THOMAS LIPSCOMB
Guest Commentary

THE WORST outbreak of election violence since the civil rights era of the early 1960s has been occurring all across the United States, and there has been far too little attention paid to it.

For all the dire warnings by Democrats that the GOP has been running intimidation activities against minority voters, there have been no specific incidents cited. There are plenty of campaign signs being destroyed on both sides, but so far the criminal activity seems pretty one-sided.

Voter intimidation and outright attacks against campaign headquarters have been a feature of collapsing democracies like Weimar Germany and the short-lived Russian interim Kerensky democracy under assault by the Nazi and Communist parties. Even a relative democracy like Mexico, which only recently emerged from decades of one-party government by the PRI, regularly experienced violence and even assassination against opposition parties and their leaders.

Whatever the political risk to the Bush administration in this election, the President has no choice but to federally enforce the civil right of America�s citizens to a just and fair election and the penalties for thwarting it. Under the current situation where the violence is targeting the GOP, one can expect a howl of protest from Democrats. And in the event of a Bush victory, there will be even more screams the 2004 election was �stolen.� But that is just too bad. Warren Christopher is right. It is the price any administration in power has to pay for taking responsibility.

Yeah, a real political risk Bush would be taking by placing his jack booted thugs at the polling places. If the unintended consequences are subdued turnout, well that's just tough, Bush will be the one hurt by it. Honest.
