The Best Defense is a Strong Offense

Attytood points us to the The Brad Blog, where Brad Friedman has been documenting a number of disturbing stories related to election fraud. In this post, Friedman discusses the GOP’s latest efforts to distract attention from instances of election fraud in recent elections:

It’ll be little surprise to BRAD BLOG readers who are by now aware of the phony “non-partisan” “voting rights” group recently created by high-level Bush/Cheney/RNC officials, but the coordinated strategy for smoke-screening what really happened in Election 2004 now seems to be in full swing.

In an Email sent yesterday by the RNC Political Director, Mike DuHaime, members of the huge RNC Email list are pointed to the 31-page hoax report created by the three day old Talon News-like, tax-exempt, self-proclaimed, “voting rights” group, American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR).

The RNC email, sent to believers on Tuesday, described the ACVR report as “document[ing] massive amounts of voter intimidation by Democrats and their third-party allies”.

Of course, the report doesn’t. Neither does it document the thousands of verified instances of real election fraud, irregularities, intimidation, disenfranchisement, miscounted and uncounted votes that occurred in Ohio and elsewhere in the last general election. Many of the real documented reports of evidence of went actually went wrong last November are contained in a 102-page report submitted to Congress after months of investigation by the minority staff of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.

Friedman has been exploring one such instance of vote tampering. Take a look at this summary of the story, which is right out of a James Ellroy novel. The case involves vote-rigging, international espionage, and an inspector general whose suspicious death was deemed a suicide by the police despite evidence of foul play. Keep an eye on this one.
