Reply #10: Iglesias calls Rove vote suppression "despicable"

[Doctor_J]

Here's another passage from the interview

"While the voter-fraud cases that riled the Republicans were not solid cases, Iglesias explained to me voter-suppression tactics that concern him, those that benefit Republican candidates. Chief among them is “vote caging,” which Iglesias says “is when you send voter information to a group of people that you have reason to believe are no longer there, such as military personnel who are overseas, such as students at historically black colleges. When it comes back as undeliverable, the party uses that information to remove that person from the voter rolls, claiming they are no longer there. It is a reprehensible practice."

I think Obama should make a point of this, and promise to prosecute Rove and anyone else who is/was involved in voter suppression, and appoint an election czar to restore voting rights in this country. If we have fair elections the GOP will have about 150 House seats in a few years.
