Republican voter suppression starting early

No wonder Bush isn't worried about the outcome of the elections, he already has his goon squads out doing voter suppression. What I love best about the Republican machine is how multi-faceted it is. Not only do they do the electronic tampering thanks to their friends at Diebold. But they also do the mail suppression campaigns, the in-your-face voter suppression stuff where they go house to house. And then layer on top of that the allocation of polling places and polling equipment to strongly favor Republicans. I particularly like the story in Ohio where they sent in a hit squad from Texas to call local black voters to ensure them that their child support payment history would be checked at the polling place.

It's like a fritatta of electioneering. Why put all your eggs in one fraud basket?
