So, I’ve pretty well documented how Florida is going to be a sticky problem state yet again this coming November… partly because hurricanes have blasted them into the stone-age, and because of well-documented GOP efforts to disenfranchise voters there. Well apparently, stifling the vote in Florida just wasn’t enough. Now, Republican party officials have been caught red-handed in similar hijinks, this time in West Virginia:
In a letter, Berkeley County clerk John Smalls cites calls from a cell phone were made to Eastern Panhandle democrats telling them that they were not registered to vote. The letter also said the calls informed democrats in some cases they wouldn’t be able to vote on Election Day.
John Ott is the top election official in Jefferson County. “This is an improper act and they should notify the proper authorities,” he said.
Maybe the GOP is starting to have doubts that their centerpiece candidate can be fairly re-elected?
