WTF? Email from GOP fraud alert. Yeah, know thy enemy...


August 11, 2005
Dear Melissa,

I wrote to you in May about the lengths to which Democrats went in an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2004 elections, specifically, the Washington State Governor's race. Our Republican candidate, Dino Rossi, actually won the election, and then the recount, before then Democrat-controlled King County "found" 566 new votes just in time for a second recount, enough to overturn the results of Election Day and the first recount. The judge who presided over the court case that followed, actually said "this election may not be set aside simply because the number of fraudulent votes exceeds the margin of victory" when he issued his ruling against the Republican challenge.

Now, The American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund (ACVR Legislative Fund), a non-partisan, non-profit organization has released a new report documenting how thousands of Americans were disenfranchised during the 2004 elections because paid Democrat operatives were heavily involved in voter intimidation and suppression.

A few of examples include:

*Coordinated efforts by certain "non-partisan" organizations to disrupt the election process in at least 12 states through voter registration fraud


*Democrat operatives convicted for tire-slashing on GOP election day vans in Milwaukee


*An Ohio court order stopping Democrat operatives from calling Republican voters telling them the wrong date for the election, and location for polling places.

The report also indicated that the following were the top 5 "hot spots" in the nation for voter fraud:

1. Philadelphia, PA
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. Seattle, WA
4. St. Louis, MO/East St. Louis, IL
5. Cleveland, OH

We encourage you to view the ACVR report in it's entirety at www.ac4vr.com and forward this to your friends and family.

Fight back today by calling talk radio and writing letters to the editor describing the Democrats' efforts to undermine American's voting system.

Sincerely,



Michael DuHaime
RNC Political Director

They are trying to muddy the waters because they know that the

about the 04 election in columbus last March

3. Wow... what well-crafted disinformation.
I should love to see the evidence.

... Oh yeah - I have... for nearly each of those allegations and more, except the names 'Republican' and 'Democrat' were transposed.

Oh the temerity of these people.

4. A friend in Texas sent this today
A life-long Dem, he somehow wangled a position as precinct captain of the GOP in a Houston suburb.
He did that to screw with them and get some insight on what the hell was going on.
Now he gets this crap all the time.
This is how they herd their sheep.

I went the ac4vr site. It look non-partisan on the surface, but when you actually begin reading what's there, it's clearly a front. They seem to report only Democratic "disenfranchisement activity." Even when talking about the long lines in Ohio, the spin is on the positive turnout for Kerry. ! :banghead: There's NOTHING about Blackwell, etc.

Did some Democrats do things that were illegal or immoral? Probably. But there's a quantitative and qualitative difference. This "non-partisan" :puke: site doesn't seem to realize that. :grr:

9. I'll Bet The GOP Slashed Their Own Tires

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=*Democrat+++tire-slashing++Milwaukee&btnG=Search

http://interactive.zogby.com/fuse/messageview.cfm?catid=24&threadid=4035

Some Republican officials have criticized Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann, a Democrat, for taking more than two months to bring charges.

McCann said FBI agents were involved in interviewing witnesses in four states: Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and New York.

"We asked the FBI knowing that this probably wouldn't be their first priority," he said.

******************************************************************
Since when does the FBI investigate tire slashings? I searched and searched and couldn't find any article that these guys were actually convicted, just charged - does anyone know?

10. You should show this to Mr. Mehlman!!!
He claims his republicans weren't in on this fraud:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050811/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_voter_suppression

This is the behavior of angels, I tell you. :sarcasm:

How much voter fraud would it take to switch the election to bush? Millions? What if it was just election fraud.....Oh nobody but a few GOP hacks like Bernadette Noe of course.

11. the flyers with NAACP letterhead said dems vote on Nov. 3...
Not so easy to target GOP voters. They're all white.

Check out the links section on http://bushcheated04.com/links.html

The GOP's Shameful Vote Strategy

Time was when Republicans were at least embarrassed by their efforts to keep African Americans from the polls. Today's Republicans have elevated vote suppression from a dirty secret to a public norm.
