Asked how he could break out of a pack of second-tier candidates, Huckabee complained about a lack of media attention.

“One of the frustrations is that there is more attention on Britney Spears getting out of a car without underwear than there is about who is going to be the next president,”

Not true Mike! They don't care more about Brit's underwear than who the next president will be, they just know it won't be you and ignore you because of it.

"Mr. von Spakovsky was central to the administration's pursuit of strategies that had the effect of suppressing the minority vote," charged Joseph Rich, a former Justice Department voting rights chief who worked under him.

How does Karl Rove's party win elections? It wins them by suppressing voting and intimidating people to stay away from the voting booth. I think we can start with violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and head from there to RICO.

So why would an FBI profiler who went after the Unabomber take time from his busy day to even think about a municipal election snafu?

Fitzgerald is mum. But when the bureau heard about this from Page Two, it immediately launched an internal review of the agent's involvement.

"We're looking into it," bureau spokeswoman Ann Todd said.

Hey look! Voter fraud that DoJ doesn't care about! I'd love someone to explain why they're all up in arms over there about voter fraud but aren't going after this one. (She's a right wing nut job doesn't count, that's the real reason, I want the one that will be publically acceptable)

FBI agent steps into Coulter voting case

A number of election law experts, based on their own research, have concluded that the accusations regarding widespread fraud are unjustified. And in this case, one of the two experts hired to do the report was Job Serebrov, a Republican elections lawyers from Arkansas, who defended his research in an e-mail message obtained by The Times that was sent last October to Margaret Sims, a commission staff member.

Voter fraud? Bullshit. Not there. Voter supression/intimidation? Hell yeah.

Hey Republicans? Bull Connor would be proud of you.

But lawyers for Jennings had not even seen the letter from ES&S until recently; it was not provided to them by election officials as it should have been under discovery motions in the case, Hirsch said. Instead, the legal team came across the document on a North Carolina-based website on election reform.

Sarasota County election officials clearly had seen the letter, though, because they referred to it in a series of emails that were among the thousands of pages of documents that were provided to Jennings's legal team. "It wasn't clear until we saw the letter what the emails were about," Hirsch said.

And we're back to the last election again because it was botched. Way to go Sarasota! And whose seat was that before the election? Why Katherine Harris' of course!

Mail in early voting undervotes were at 2.6%. In person early voters came to central locations and voted on iVotronic touch screens like those used in the general election. Undervotes by that method ran 17.6%. There is no reason for a difference of 15 points other than the one provided by Coffey in the Jennings case: voting machine malfunction by the iVotronics. As a result, 14,000 Sarasota County voters lost their constitutional rights.

Any more questions about touch screen voting machines and the need for a paper trail? It looks like the correct margin in the House should be 235-200.

KFDM continues to get complaints from Jefferson County voters who say the electronic voting machines are not registering their votes correctly.

State investigators have linked a Republican campaign to letters sent to thousands of Orange County Hispanics warning them they could go to jail or be deported if they vote next month, a spokesman for the attorney general said.

How to win? Make other people too afraid to vote. The word is "disenfranchisement" and it means you've violated another person's civil rights.

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not drop the soap.

Then, one muggy day in mid-August, Hood was surprised to see the president of Diebold's election unit, Bob Urosevich, arrive in Georgia from his headquarters in Texas. With the primaries looming, Urosevich was personally distributing a "patch," a little piece of software designed to correct glitches in the computer program. "We were told that it was intended to fix the clock in the system, which it didn't do," Hood says. "The curious thing is the very swift, covert way this was done."

More questions about Diebold stealing elections. At this point, the third world is doing a better job than we are.
