Court Denies GOP Effort to Re-Institute Voter Caging/Suppression
Court Denies GOP Effort to Re-Institute Voter Caging/Suppression
Says Republicans likely tempted to 'keep qualified minority voters from casting their ballots'...

Politico tells the story --- though they fail to use the word "caging" because, well, it doesn't make the GOP look so great, and that's what the main interest of Politico seems to be in just about everything they do. They do, however, liberally use the Orwellian phrase "ballot security" instead, as the GOP no doubt appreciates.

These grafs from Politico, summarizing the RNC's rejected argument for moving to throw away the national consent decree they were forced to sign in the 80's, after getting busted caging minority voters from the voter rolls (illegally suppressing their vote) are rather amusing...

1. Thanx Brad
"recent decision by the New Jersey court that the RNC had engaged in illegal voter challenges as recently as the 2004 presidential election."

So the court ruled that the republicans cheated in 2004 betya that will make national news. :sarcasm:

BTW in 2004 I was wet behind the ears but the poll I was watching in Ohio I saw a republican challenger working w/ the precinct judge
w/ a caging list.
