SITTING SENATOR TED STEVENS (R) CONVICTED TODAY -- Does Perp Walk

Quote from oktiri:

I saw this guy's interview on Bill Maher, He's small Republican operative that was never authorized by the party to do what he did.
And what did he do ? Jam phone lines that were getting out the vote.
Excuse me, but if you need someone to call you on election day to TELL YOU to go to vote, you're too lazy, too stupid and might as well stay at home.

Stay on topic, please

A tip of the iceberg so to speak; a party that condones this condones even worse crimes. It is that slippery slope that gets attention from time to time.

Stevens got caught as did the guy who wrote the book. I'll betch there are many more who did not get caught.

Nope. Voter suppression is nothing new. Let's not make such a big deal out of it, they tried it before, they'll try it every time. It probably costs the dems 0.5 points per election. let's not blow things out of proportion.
The effect of Nader running in 2000 in Florida is major, bigger than these tricks
Wrong. Thousands of African American voters were fraudulently removed from the list of voters in Florida 2000 based on a fake felon list out of Texas, totally swamping any effect Nader had.

And the Palm Beach election official, a closet Republican pretending to be a Democrat, conjured up the most bogus butterfly ballot I'd ever seen. We had butterfly ballots for decades in my district, including the 2000 elections. The difference was that our butterflys had two (2) columns of punch holes down the middle, making it impossible to confuse which hole corresponded to which candidate. That Palm Beach butterfly ballot was designed to confuse voters. Even Pat Buchanan said his vote total in Palm Beach didn't make sense (too many old Jews voting for an anti-Semite).
