Thom Hartmann Issues Request for More Info Regarding Voter Caging by McCain Campaign
Says they are working on a MASSIVE and SERIOUS Investigative Story to expose the McCain Campaign's ILLEGAL attempts to suppress Democratic Voter Turnout with their phony and broken voter registration forms.

Says these forms, if people actually fill them out will cause existing registered Democratic voters to lose their status and it's a setup for GOP challenges of voters during the election.

Says if you have gotten any of these registration forms from the McCain campaign, there's a place on his website to register your email addy and the investigator will contact you.

1. It's Palast and RFK, Jr.. See this link:
I heard Hartmann refer to this as well, but I couldn't locate the link on his site. He did not give the name of the investigator, but on a hunch, I went to Palast's site, and it looks like his and RFK, Jr.'s effort.

The clickable link to get involved is near the end of Greg's letter, above his signoff.



We are in the front end of this battle, people. Atten-HUT!

8. true BUT I don't think that will hold water

with America's VOTERS. It won't matter to those Rove enthusists that will vote repub no matter what, but they are lost anyways. McCain's credibility is shrinking quickly though, with indies and moderate repubs (that really didn't like him anyway) now that the media has been pointing out his bald face lying, coupled with the idiocy of continuing to repeat those lies after they've been outed.

How many of them do you think will believe McCain would forsake his honor and integrity to win an election by lying but wouldn't stoop to cheating with the proof there in front of them? All the people I know are Independent voters, they don't trust politicians to start with. McCain's ONLY plus has been that he was a war hero, and honorable man that told it straight. If they hear this from the media ... they will be PISSED. Tampering with the vote will be unforgivable in their eyes. Bet on it.

We aren't talking about one little typo here. There's 4 or 5 different states involved and the mistakes are different on each ballot. It's deliberate and took some planning. It's a big story, and because of the seriousness of the charges all the proof, with all the i's dotted and t's crossed, will have to be in place before they can put it out there, but when they do ... it's over.

I don't understand why the people here at DU aren't excited about this development. There were dozens of threads about Palin's baby, religious beliefs, and yada yada. Here we've caught them trying to rig the election and it's like 'oh well, politics as usual' nobody will care, and the couple of threads that are posted drop like flies :wtf:
