A Quarter Of McCain's "Clean Election" Committee Involved In Voter Fraud

Nearly a quarter of John McCain's "Clean Election and Voter Fraud Committee," chaired by Warren Rudman and John Danforth, have been involved in GOP voter suppression efforts and unfounded partisan claims of voter fraud. Of the 21 members of the committee, five have been engaging in these shady efforts.

In addition to Tom Davis, who has a history of openly discussing subtle voter suppression techniques, the committee includes:

* Cameron Quinn, who was a director of the Republican voter suppression front group, the American Center for Voting Rights.
* California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who has long fought for ways to make it more difficult for people to vote.
* Susan Molinari who cried wolf about voter fraud in 2004 and 2006, only to find her allegations proven false.
* Larry D. Thompson, who hired Bradley Schlozman to work in the Justice Department where he approved Tom Delay's redistricting plan, GA's modern "Jim Crow Law" and pursued politicized indictments against ACORN in MO.

GO NOW. VOTE EARLY. This is scary.

I live in a NON battleground state. I went to vote early on Oct. 15. I had the same registration for 6 years, voted 2 gubernatorial races and the 2004 Presidential election and this year's Primaries. Guess what? The lady at the Elections office told me there was someone with my name BUT a DIFFERENT BIRTHDATE. She pulled up my original scanned in voter registration. It was my handwriting, my signature with the exception of the Birthday date. It showed me being 7 years, 7 months and 2 days older and it didn't look exactly like my handwriting.

She pulled up previous voter registrations that all clearly showed my real birthday. She ended up giving me a real ballot to vote with BUT I think if that happens to me here, in this State I am very afraid what will be in store somewhere else!!!

I am looking forward to enjoying a few more more laughs from McCain tonight in this last debate. The last one was a such hoot with him wobbling all over the stage like he did. Obma will win hands down anyway so why not bring out the pop corn and enjoy!

I have just voted in Tennessee, and though they tell me it did no good to vote for Obama in this racist state, I have never felt as cleansed and euphoric in my life. I'm old enough to remember the atrocities and misery African Americans were forced to live in, in this South. I have never been as elated to vote for a brilliant Black Man! May he serve this Nation well and be safe!

Believe that McCain will bring up Acorn tonight. He is a desperate fellow.

[peacegurl48]

What hypocrites! Glad I already voted for Obama in California.

HEAD'S UP TO VOTERS IN NC......

In NC, if you choose a "straight party ticket" vote, that will NOT enter a vote for your choice for POTUS....you MUST make that Presidential vote choice Separate from the party line vote.

Forwarned is Forearmed!

[WilliamProc]

We in NC appreciate your zeal. I do believe that most north carolinians know this; the important thing is that they get OUT and vote in the first place. Especially the minority vote!!

Trust me, we will do our part to remove the old boy network.

Please help people get registered and get them to the polls!

[lejman]

layer upon layer of lobbyists/hypocrites. glad i voted obama '08 already. get out there, people

[blood1]

Obama should take this to the debate tonight...if McCain is trying to be so upright and moral...then let him explain this...he took on ACORN...but not his own staffs background...that is the type of person we really need to be POTUS...no attention to any detail...just more blah, blah, blah.

[Whinger]

Jeez! Even the mafia wouldn't be as bare faced as this crew!

[WDemDem]

Yet all I see and hear on the teevee is Acorn Acorn Acorn. Meh.

[sociocanuck]

Clearly the media has gone Nuts. :)

[Graywolf48]

Can this man and his campaign do anything right? McCain is becoming the political equivalent of "Wrong way" Corrigan. What a loser.

[DCtrain]

[Vee]

This is so sad...nothing the McCain/Palin ticket do would surprise me anymore, no matter how low.
I've come to expect McCain/Palin campaign to do the lowest immoral things to win the presidency.

It's NOT a surprise..., McCain honorable??? Yea right!!
