Bush campaign aide indicted

[Generic Other]

A federal grand jury indicted James Tobin, President Bush's former New England campaign chairman, "on four counts related to the jamming of get-out-the-vote phone lines on Election Day 2002," the AP reports.

"The 2002 jamming consisted of computer-generated calls to get-out-the-vote phones run by Democrats and the nonpartisan Manchester firefighters' union. More than 800 hang-up calls tied up phones for about 1½ hours."

10. Says they are determined to find out where the money came from..

I hope it leads right up to Rove. Squeeze these people enough and promise jail time..they should talk.

12. Headline? Surely you jest. This one got two (buried) AP paragraphs.

A little old lady accidently sending in an absentee ballot and then showing up at the polls because she forgot she voted because she has Alzheimers---that would get a John Ashcroft press conference.

Leave no election fraudster behind!

As we told you a few days ago, six Republican party staffers and campaign workers in South Dakota resigned over a burgeoning voter fraud scandal. Chief among them was Larry Russell, head of the South Dakota GOP's get-out-the-vote operation, the Republican Victory Program.

To date, no criminal charges have been filed. But the state Attorney General says the investigation is "continuing."

Today comes news, however, that Russell -- still under investigation in South Dakota -- has been reassigned to run President Bush's get-out-the-vote operation in Ohio. Russell will now "lead the ground operations" for Bush in Ohio, according to an internal Republican party memo obtained by the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

And Russell's bringing along with him to Ohio three of the five other GOP staffers who had to resign in South Dakota and are similarly under investigation in that state.
