Yellow Dog

Why is it that every story I have read lately on attempts to disenfranchise voters always involve Republican officials up to their dirty tricks? Unbelievably, the New England regional chair of Bush-Cheney 2004, who is under investigation in an election fraud case, is still operating as the chair. And then there's the latest case of the RNC-backed organization throwing out Democratic voter registrations in Oregon and Nevada. Read this NYT story for more examples from Ohio, Wisconsin, and, of course, Florida. Bottom line: When it comes to a dog fight, Republicans don't fight fair.
