McClatchy: NO Lawsuits Have Targeted States Whose Elections Were Managed Soley By Republicans

Justice Department actions expected to draw congressional scrutiny
By Greg Gordon
McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON - Saying it was out to combat widespread voter fraud, the Justice Department in recent years has stepped up enforcement of election laws to ease the purging of ineligible voters from state registration rolls.


Since 2005, department civil rights lawyers have sued election officials in seven states - Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Missouri, New Jersey and New York - and sent threatening letters to others, in some cases demanding copies of voter registration data.


Former lawyers in the Civil Rights Division, however, said the voter fraud campaign is a partisan effort to disqualify legitimate voters, as occurred in Florida before the 2000 presidential election.


The former department officials note that researchers have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud and that no lawsuits have targeted states whose elections were managed solely by Republican officials.

1. That's our Justice Department.
Or what passes for "justice" in BushAmerica.

What a dump!

3. When will we look at election fraud?
When will we look at Blackwell, Harris and Diebold?

4. Because, other than Republican Ann Coulter and a handful
of others, there is no "voter" fraud.

There is mass-scale ELECTION fraud perpetrated BY Republicans, however.
