How the GOP "Rocks the Vote"
Absolutely disgusting.
The former head a Republican consulting group pleaded guilty to jamming Democratic telephone lines in several New Hampshire cities during the 2002 general election.
...
According to court papers, Raymond plotted with unidentified co-conspirators to jam Democratic Party telephone lines established so voters could call for rides to the polls in Manchester, Nashua, Rochester and Claremont. Manchester firefighters' union phone lines also were affected.
...
The jamming involved more than 800 calls and lasted for about 1 1/2 hours on Nov. 5, 2002, the day New Hampshire voters decided many state and federal races, including the U.S. Senate race between outgoing Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and then-Rep. John Sununu. Sununu, a Republican, won the race.
...
"There is, short of murder, not much that is more horrific in America than purposely trying to stop people from voting," said Raymond Buckley, vice chairman of the state Democratic Party. He said the jamming was obviously an organized effort.
...
Chuck McGee, who was executive director of the state Republican Party at the time, resigned his post after news broke of the matter.
Anyone care to re-think some of those allegations that the Republicans tried to prevent blacks from voting in Florida 2000?
