About that "voter fraud" red herring

[BobcatJH]

Complete and utter bullshit, and the attorneys - at least one who was subsequently fired - knew it:

Former U.S. Attorney John McKay said Monday night he was "stunned" to hear President Bush told Attorney General Alberto Gonzales last October that Bush had received complaints about U.S. attorneys who were not energetically investigating voter-fraud cases.

McKay doesn't know if Republican unhappiness over his handling of the 2004 election cost him his job as U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, but the new revelations contained in a Washington Post story are sure to reignite questions about McKay's dismissal and whether it was connected to Washington state's hotly contested governor's race.

"Had anyone at the Justice Department or the White House ordered me to pursue any matter criminally in the 2004 governor's election, I would have resigned," McKay said. "There was no evidence, and I am not going to drag innocent people in front of a grand jury."

Ties in nicely, don't you think, with the notion that the administration ranked poorly those attorneys who "chafed against Administration initiatives"?

1. African-Americans casting ballots = voter fraud to the GOP. It's that simple.

3. I don't think in this case that GOP were targeting African-Americans

with voter fraud. Unless they were targeting in major metro areas like Seattle. Washington has 3.5% while Seattle has 8.4% and Spokane has 2.1%.

But targeting Democrats or likely Democrats.

4. In general they target urban centers as areas of "voter fraud"

2. Pretty funny, that.

When we scream election fraud, they scream voter fraud.
In the face of overwhelmingly evidence of massive election fraud all across the nation, there were something like twenty four prosecutable cases of voter fraud-out of a hundred million voters.

Just doesn't add up.
