The GOP has been caught red-handed engaging in voter suppression:
State investigators have linked a Republican campaign to letters sent to thousands of Southern California Hispanics warning them they could go to jail or be deported if they vote next month, a spokesman for the attorney general said.This is the way the Republicans play. They cheat to win. But, they ususally don't get busted. In addition to the barrage of negative ads, voter suppression is another favored tactic of the GOP. It's despicable and anyone who does it should be in jail.
"We have identified where we believe the mailing list was obtained," said Nathan Barankin, spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
He declined to identify the specific Republican campaign Wednesday, citing the ongoing investigation. The Los Angeles Times and The Orange County Register both reported Thursday that the investigation appeared to be focused on the campaign of Tan D. Nguyen, a Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez.
I think the traditional media often dismisses claims of voter suppression as liberal conspiracies. Now, they know otherwise.
Had enough?
