State GOP ordered to provide documents

[Rose Siding]

MANCHESTER — A judge has ordered the New Hampshire Republican State Committee to provide him with all documents from an internal GOP probe of an illegal operation that jammed Democratic and firefighters union get-out-the-vote telephone banks on Election Day 2002.
...
If he finds the documents do not contain information that falls under the attorney-client and work product privileges, Mangones is expected to allow them into evidence in a Democratic Party civil lawsuit against the Republicans filed last summer.

The suit contends the phone-jamming operation interfered with the Democrats’ constitutionally-protected rights to participate in elections by blocking their get-out-the-vote efforts. It seeks civil damages. No trial date has been set.

Charles McGee, the state GOP’s former executive director, is serving a seven-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to a federal conspiracy charge related to the phone jam operation.
...
A goal of the Democrats’ suit is to find out who else may have been behind the operation and who paid for it.
