I'm very disappointed that the GOP couldn't attend today's hearing.
I'm sure they're just as concerned about voter fraud as the Dems are.
Guess they had more important things to do.

1. it's not a matter of "could" or "couldn't"
it's only a matter of whether or not they wanted to. I'm sure that if any GOPer wanted to sign the GAO letter or help chair this hearing they would have been welcome.

8. I really didn't expect them to...
After all, who wants to sit their ass on the fire? They are guilty as hell and they know it. The only place you can get a criminal to show up is in court.

They will have to be forced to account for their actions!

10. yeah, been reading on the internets how many of them are concerned
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 01:59 PM by robbedvoter
about voting rights - how they are being cathered to by some based on this very yearning....


That means we want support from right wingers, and we want left-wingers who don't support greater voting rights to keep their mouths shut on the issue.
