Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 02:42 PM by seabeyond
going to areas where they know their supporters are and sending ads to keep the other side not wanting to go vote.
this is their explaination of voter supression and still be able to blame both sides.
that was it.
why didnt they mention the caged voter 58,000 lost abenstee ballots police barracades christian group throwing away democrat reg repugs changing dems to repugs voter intimidation poll place limiting
i mean, i think i am seeing other things that will strongly say voter supression besides going to area of supporter to get registration

1. There's a difference between running negative ads |
|
And actively trying to remove voters from the rolls, keep them from casting their votes, etc.
Even to hint at equating them is offensive.

3. Running ads is a fair way to try and convince people who would have |
|
voted for your opponent to instead simply not vote.
Stealing 58,000 ballots, on the other hand, is a felony.

5. Ads aren't the problem |
|
Ads are part of the game. Sending thugs to hang out at polls in minority neighborhoods to harass voters = suppression.
Unbelievable how they leave that out.
