What does "redlining a district" sound like to you? (secret Bush* emails)
Even after GeorgeWBush.org posted the letters from their dead letter office intended for GeorgeWBush.com, a new one came in from this morning:

We have redlined the district (that gets us about 70%
of their voters) for challenges but we need the
updated voter maps ASAP! We're still working off of
2000 maps. This is the THIRD email I've sent out on
this people. Let's get it together the electoin is
TUESDAY!!!!

The more we challenge the more we get!

What do you think this "redlining" is about?

2. I agree. Seems like an intentional red herring.

3. In insurance, redlining is a racist practice.
Denying insurance to people in "high-risk" inner-city areas. I'm sure this is exactly the same crap. Where's the media on this?

Morons.

4. It's from Banks that use neighborhoods to discriminate
Rather than take each case on its merits, Banks have just cast a broad net to dissuade or deny loans to individuals and businesses.

Here's a link explaining
