Voter Supression?

By Rebecca Carr | Thursday, June 7, 2007, 04:16 PM

The Bush administration engaged in a three-year effort to suppress likely Democratic votes, a new report from the New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice and the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law found.

The liberal-leaning non-profit groups reported that 55 percent of career prosecutors have left the Justice Department’s voting section. They were driven away by a partisan hiring process, altered evaluations and political retaliation on the job, according to their report and interviews with Joseph Rich, the former head of the section.

And the groups state that the so-called “hotbeds” of voter fraud in Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington and Wisconsin are non-existent.

The report comes as the House and Senate Judiciary panels are investigating the questionable dismissals of nine U.S. attorneys last year. A central point in the investigation is whether some of the prosecutors were fired for failing to investigate allegations of voter fraud against Democratic-leaning groups.

The administration has strongly denied that the prosecutors were fired for improper reasons.

1. This is really starting to move into the MSM.

We live in at least an authoritarian country, if not a dictatorship.
