Where Do I Contact Keith Olbermann?
I have a nomination for worst person. Our Wisconsin AG (a puker) has tried to sue to supress the vote here, and when his lawsuit was denied, he decides that he';; send his goons (his lawyers) out on election day anyway. His lawsuit has cost the taxpayers $43,000. I have the links. Don't know if Keith will use it, but I'll get some satisfaction for having tried anyway. Thanks:)

6. Thanks for the links! Wow. This recent repub whine mirrors that of Boehner's in Ohio...
... but I believe that the only one who can save Van Hollering - er - Van Hollen's frantic attempts to suppress the vote this late in the game, is the U.S. Department of Justice. They are also the only ones allowed to present a case like this to the SCOTUS, I believe.

Bush tried to sic his DOJ Mukasey on Jennifer Brunner, Ohio's SoS but after pressure from the very same groups now fighting Van Hollen's frivolous lawsuit, the DOJ has declined to do so, so I think this is the way it will go with Van Hollen and the Ohio GOP's suit too.

8. Good idea
I'm a poll worker in Madison and went in for the mandatory training last week and asked about the 50 deputy attorney generals being deployed around the state: where are they going to be? what are they doing? are they considered 'observers'? what rights do they have? etc. She didn't know what was going on and said they had the police following up with the attorney general's office to find out more details. They will hopefully have information for the chief inspectors before election day.

I'll send the suggestion to Keith as well.

Thanks!

Feingold Questions AG's Poll Watchers

MADISON, Wis. -- U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold wants Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to reconsider his plans to have 50 poll watchers across the state on Election Day.

The Republican Van Hollen has drawn heat from Democrats over his plan to send assistant attorneys general and special agents to observe at more than a dozen polling spots on Tuesday.

16. K&R for the voter suppression file.
And please send those links to election integrity organizations like www.velvetrevolution.us

and Brad Blog and whatever others you know of.

If we can compile these stories, we will have a large stack to make our case for broad election reform.
