Fake voting rights activists and groups linked to White House
December 30, 2005

Top level Republican operatives with ties to the White House, Senate Majority Leader William Frist and the Republican National Committee (RNC) not only engaged in the suppression of poor and minority voters in the 2004 Ohio presidential election' but they spun the election irregularities into a story linking blacks to cocaine and voter fraud. Bush allies in Ohio are now using this myth of voter fraud to pass a repressive "election reform" bill.

In the month prior to and immediately after the 2004 presidential election' the Republican Party engaged in an orchestrated campaign to divert the mainstream media focus away from election fraud and irregularities in Ohio and manufactured the myth of "voter fraud."

According to a former Columbus Dispatch reporter' Ohio Senator Mike Dewine sent his spokesperson' Mike Dawson' to meet with the editorial board of the Dispatch and other Ohio newspapers. The primary talking point for the GOP was that there was no evidence of irregularities in Ohio.

7. They tried to pull similar crap in Wisconsin

making claims that Dems (read blacks) in Milwaukee engaged in systematic voter fraud. Thankfully, the conservative Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other Wisconsin newspapers confronted the puke BS with the truth regularly and often. Their sham voting "reforms" have gone nowhere, thankfully.

I wish Ohio much luck in defeating this bait and switch scheme.
