Do law officials have double standard regarding dirty tricks against Dems

[berniew1]

and if so, why???
*******************
In Wisconsin a tire slashing by young Dem activists was vigorously investigated and prosecuted; then publicized nationally;

while widespread systematic dirty tricks by Republican activists in over 20 states have not been prosecuted or publicized.

Is there a double standard for law in most states when it comes to illegal dirty tricks against Dems as opposed to Republicans??

Documentation of thousands of cases in 2004 election:

New Hampshire
Wolfeboro. Several residents with Kerry/Edwards signs in their yards found roofing nails in their driveways the morning of the election. Police started a criminal investigation. Story

In Philadelphia, the Republican Party hired local people including down-and-out addicts as neighborhood poll watchers, paid the poll watchers to challenge their neighbors' voting, and sent visiting teams of burly enforcers in window-tinted vans in a mixed strategy of intimidation, pay and misinformation to suppress voting on November 2, according to a Brooklyn law student working with Election Protection.
